JD Landstrom '23 Recruiting Profile

I consider myself  a very coachable, smart, athletic lacrosse player. I began playing lacrosse when I was 10 and quickly fell in love with the game and the defensive position. I began playing for Team MN 6 years ago and I pride myself on my intelligence and how I play defense. I rarely make significant mistakes. I'm a very strong 'man down' defenseman, and I'm exceptional at slides and reading the other team's offense. I am vocal and aggressive on ball. I'm also very comfortable clearing and moving the ball with both hands. Along with being apart of my club lacrosse team I'm very involved with my high school team. I was one of two freshmen selected to the offseason leadership program.  I also compete in Alpine skiing and was All State my sophomore year placing 9th at state. My extracurricular and volunteer work include being a member of the National Honor Society along with a being Sunday school teacher. Academically, I am attending the best public school in the state and taking multiple AP and other challenging classes. I'm bilingual and have a strong desire to attend a university that challenges me to reach my full lacrosse and academic potential. I love being involved in my school and helping to better my community. The thought of college excites me and I can’t wait to find a school that helps me reach my goals.
