Tyler Hendrycks '19 Recruiting Profile

Coaches,

I love the game of lacrosse.  I started playing box when I was 7 yrs old as a summer sport.  Eventually, I preferred lacrosse to playing competitive hockey.  Lacrosse really became a priority for me after my older brother, Jordan committed to Lake Erie (Fall 2016) on a lacrosse scholarship.  I began playing field lacrosse at 12 yrs old.  Watching my brother play field, I knew I wanted to follow his lead and become an NCAA Student-Athlete.

In my first year of high school I played lacrosse for our Varsity team, basketball for our JV Varsity team and also ran cross-country.   I am now in my second year and my GPA is 3.8.  I am searching for an University or College where I can play NCAA lacrosse and study either engineering (like my Dad),  business or education.

Seeing my brother's journey, I saw how important it was to train physically to compete at the highest levels.  I have been training at Elite Performance Academy with professional lacrosse and college lacrosse players to work on flexibility, core and explosive strength.  The transformation has been very good in adding strength and size but staying lean and injury free.

As a lacrosse Attack from Canada, I have a surprisingly good off-hand.  I am very responsible with the ball and I look to move the ball to teammates in open situations.  I work hard on my off-ball movement to get open.  I have a scoring knack to find the back of the net.

My goal is to find the right school which offers strong academics, future networking opportunities, a competitive lacrosse program and a welcoming family environment.

I am registered on the NCAA Eligibility Center and NCAA # is 1703753767
