Ian Veader '20 Recruiting Profile

I've been playing lacrosse for as long as I can remember. I played defense as a kid and when I stopped growing at the same rate as all the other kids I started playing attack, so I have a great understanding of the game in all positions. Although I'm a small player I consider it an advantage, when defenders match up on me they assume it's going to be easy to outrun me or body check me so they're often surprised and thrown off gaurd when they realize I'm not an easy matchup. In my freshman season my coach put me on the starting middie line because I'm energetic and he thought I wasn't getting enough running on attack, I play mostly offensive middie and I'm the first option shooter on most plays.
