Jackson Friel '21 Recruiting Profile

I have been playing lacrosse since I was in first grade and started out playing attack.  I started playing close defense and LSM in 8th grade and it came very natural to me.  I feel that since I was able to understand how the offense worked, I was able to create more defensive stops and be an asset on both sides of the ball.  Freshman year I started at North Catholic High School in Pittsburgh PA, the only freshman to start every game.  My sophomore year, I was voted captain by my teammates and coaches and also started every game.  I lead the team in takeaways and lead the defense in ground balls.  

Also, I was able to achieve Honor Roll and a 3.8 GPA in school.  I am a  very active member in my schools student council and will be running for school president for my senior year.  I also help with my schools mass by alter serving when they need a hand.  I was able to become a better student and person by putting myself in uncomfortable situations that I have not been in before that have shaped me into who I am today
