The Best U13 Player in the World Commits to Air Force

The Best U13 Player in the World Commits to Air Force

Wow! We were stoked to learn that the high school freshman who committed to Air Force this week was in fact our favorite U13 player in the world. In July of 2012, I made a pretty bold prediction about the U13 lacrosse phenom. Saying:

Remember this kid’s name. I’m pretty positive he’ll raise a few eyebrows with this video and he’ll probably commit to an ACC school by the time recess is over today.

Well, I was obviously wrong about one gleaming prediction, but I’m glad he’s made a big move. The talented middie’s name is Christian Marshall. Marshall hails froms Faith Lutheran (Nev.) and considered Michigan, Navy, and Notre Dame.

In case you’ve forgotten who Marshall is, here’s the ridiculous video to jog your memory.

4OneTwoLax has interesting commentary about the commitment. Lacrosse Playground is all-in when it comes down to early recruiting. Enforcing restrictions on a student-athlete and an institution is the last thing we need to see. Let the kids play!

Lacrosse Playground

In 2009, Adam O’Neill, Harry Alford and Thomas Alford launched Lacrosse Playground as the preeminent site for lacrosse gearheads. For years Lacrosse Playground provided lacrosse fans with tutorials and tips on how to string a lacrosse head, up-close looks at the gear the top players used and sneak peeks at equipment and uniforms before they were released. More than 10 years and millions of visits later, Lacrosse Playground has relaunched with a focus on storytelling. Our mission is to provide comprehensive coverage of the latest lacrosse news, share insights into the sports betting and fantasy lacrosse world and showcase the lifestyles and personalities of the sport of lacrosse through articles, videos and podcasts.
