My name is Jackson DeStefano, I am a midfielder in the class of 2026 and play for Xaverian Brothers High school in Westwood Massachusetts along with Kings Lacrosse. For me, athletics especially lacrosse, is something I cannot live without. It is this along with a strong competitive fire that has brought me to pursuing lacrosse in the collegiate level. What sets me apart from other recruits though, is my dedication to academics as the priority coupled with a strong work ethic in athletics. Being a leader off the field, I've learned how to manage my time, work with others, and maintain a commitment to being my best self in everything I do. Coaches can trust that I will bring discipline, teamwork, and determination to their team. I am passionate about lacrosse, but I also recognize that my future is shaped by the balance between sports and academics. I'm ready to contribute to a program that values both.
