Matty Higgins

Higgins vaults into the top 20 and five-star territory after a terrific rookie campaign for the Lakers and an outstanding summer capped off by helping Team 91 to an NLF national title. He helped Boys’ Latin to a spot in the MIAA semifinals on the strength of a balanced 29-goal, 23-assist season. Higgins was excellent as an initiator from X, using his quick burst and explosiveness to beat defenders to both score and feed. He had a particularly good rapport with Team 91 four-star Matt Triolo (John Glenn, N.Y.), often linking up with the lefty sniper for a ton of goals.

“Higgins plays big-time lacrosse,” one power conference offensive coordinator said. “Playing for three years at Boys’ Latin is something that I see a ton of value with, and he showed a ton of competitiveness in a really tough environment.”
