Dylan Barnes '25 Recruiting Profile

Hello, my name is Dylan Barnes I have been an athlete all my life and have finally decided I want to peruse the most in Lacrosse. Before I picked up Lacrosse, I was a wrestler. I wrestled for around 8 years and placed in things such as Cadet state 16u at 4th place and Cadet state 18u at 6th place and also 7th in Southern Section at 7th place. I had many other wins under my belt and then I had a life changing injury and was in the ICU at children's hospital for around a week and in a neck brace for 2 months. This injury resulted in me having to quit Wrestling which was very hard for me, but it also opened a new door for me. Finding lacrosse was a shot in the dark but coming from wrestling I picked it up fast, my coaches put me at FOGO, and I felt as if I thrive doing faceoffs because of my past. During my first year ever playing I was winning a good number of faceoffs and impressed my coaches, other coaches, and myself. I hope that the coaches I reach out to and the ones that are able to see me play can see my skill and I can hopefully help them and their team out in seasons in the future.
