Bailey Savio is the youngest of the faceoff prospects, not utilizing the fifth season of eligibility granted due to the pandemic. Really coming into his own nationally as a sophomore, Savio set Loyola records in faceoffs taken, wins, and ground balls while pushing the Greyhounds into the NCAA quarterfinals. In a shortened junior season last year, Savio continued his dominance ranking in the top six in the nation in both win percentage (.687) and ground balls per game (10.33).

Greg Gurenlian’s Take: He’s just a man-child. Even as a freshman, he was strong enough to push guys off the ball at Loyola and he just hasn’t stopped. He’s a very strong athlete like all these guys and that’s going to bode well for them in the PLL.
