Nathaniel Bushey '21 Recruiting Profile

Growing up, I played baseball but I quickly found it too slow for me.  When lacrosse became introduced to me it was like, "Why didn't I start playing sooner?" I have been playing lacrosse as my main sport for nine years now and I have put in the effort and time to get where I am today.   Even as a freshman on my varsity team, I never shied away from helping teammates improve their game in any possible way.  I work on my game year round, and I make sure I am the best I can be to help to my team.  It is important to me that I go hard all the time  so I can help my team succeed while also pushing my teammates to give 100 percent too.  In the end, hard work and dedication pays off and it has for me.  I was an Honorable Mention All-Star as a sophomore and a Captain going into my junior year.  

Lacrosse and academics are very important to me.  I have developed a strong work ethic so I can achieve in the classroom and on the field.  In addition, I am a Type-I Diabetic which I also manage.  It has made me a very responsible individual.  My friends and teammates always depend on me to help and be supportive with what they may need.  

I am looking forward to the challenges that college will bring to me in the next chapter in my life.
