Noah Garcia '26 Recruiting Profile

I have been playing lacrosse since the age of 9. Even at a young age, I had the desire to play at a higher level. My commitment to this goal of playing at a higher level runs deep; I have worked towards it for the last 7 years of my life. I am coachable, dependable, and adaptable. I work feverishly to better myself and my team. I never give up on the play, even if I lose the draw, I will fight endlessly to get the ball back and pressure the other team until it's time to fall back to defense. Furthermore, when the time comes to play defense, I am very well disciplined. 

I train at the faceoff factory with the best faceoff specialists in the world, and I have traveled hours upon hours for out-of-state training. I’ve attended National Overnight, team competition, and state level competition within the Faceoff Factory training curriculum. However, I know that it’s not enough to be a one dimensional Lacrosse player, so I train diligently in my offensive skills, with an intense focus on stick skills, shooting on the run, and off the ball movement. I spread my love for the draw, and the game itself, through volunteering to help out with local youth programs, and I also do free faceoff clinics for 12 and under athletes.

I have played year-round since the age of twelve. I play with Team 91 Georgia for travel seasons, and I play at Webb School of Knoxville for High School Spring Lacrosse. I was awarded All Area Max-Prep, All-Region and All-State at the Faceoff, as a Freshman and Sophomore.

Although Lacrosse is a top priority for me, I am just as competitive in the classroom.  Academics will play a massive role in where I attend college. That being said, I currently maintain an honor’s standing in my Freshman, Sophomore, and Junior years.
