Gerard Arceri – Penn State
A big-time prospect who returned to Penn State to use his final year of eligibility, the two-time USILA All-American started his final season already the Nittany Lions all-time leader in ground balls and ranking among the top ten in NCAA history in face-off wins and ground balls. Another dominant physical presence weighing in at 6’0”, 200lbs, Arceri has outmuscled and forced his will on opponents since arriving in Happy Valley. In addition to his prowess at the stripe, he is one of the higher-scoring face-off athletes in this draft class having scored 20 goals, including eight in his junior season.
Greg Gurenlian’s Take: He’s got super fast hands and can take the ball to the rack. He always pops the ball to himself and he’s been very successful doing that in college. This guy is just an absolute manimal.
