Hunter Metz

Fall 2024 Rankings – No. 7 in the class

Metz came into the summer with a reputation as somewhat of only a finisher, but he’s way more than that. The lefty is still an outstanding finisher, as he showed with his 31 goals for three-time defending MIAA champion McDonogh. But he’s better than advertised as a dodger and is also a very capable righty finisher as well.

“Metz can be a little bit of a dodger. He just hasn’t needed to (with McDonogh) and his best lacrosse is still ahead of him,” an ACC coach said. “He’s going to develop quickly.”

Metz understands coverages and is very adept at finding open spots. He’s a big body and could eventually top out at 6-3 or 6-4, so he’s got a frame that’s tailor-made for the next level.
