Khalif Hocker

Summer 2023 Evaluation

Hocker started off the summer red-hot and then cooled off. There was a pretty good reason for it. As it turns out, it can be hard to play with a hernia all summer long. When he’s healthy, the Showtime and Main Stage All-Star can compete with anyone in the class. At 6-1, 190 pounds with some impressive weight room numbers and an extensive box lacrosse background, he’s got a skill set that sets him apart. A two-handed scoring threat who’s also really comfortable above the cage, Hocker is different than a lot of the other top scoring options in this class.

Spring 2023 Evaluation

Hocker had a monster freshman campaign at St. Xavier, tallying 44 times and dishing out 20 assists. He’s since blown those numbers out of the water en route to earning Ohio Region 4 Player of the Year and Attackman of the Year. A two-time One Percent all-star, Hocker’s an elite dodger and a threat to score with either hand. Extremely strong – he reports a 605-pound deadlift – he also has the athleticism to run by defenders and draw a slide. Hocker’s also an excellent box lacrosse player, a nod to Resolute’s intense box program. That shows up in his field game with his ability to make split-second decisions and with how he makes plays in tight. Here’s more about what makes him special.
