Colin Farragher '20 Recruiting Profile

I'm looking forward to playing lacrosse and feel that my athletic talent, drive and personality can really help a school.  I have had a busy freshman year as I have great success in football, basketball and now playing a significant role on the varsity lacrosse team.  I work very hard academically and have been able to successfully balance my time to participate in a variety sports and achieve my goals in the classroom.  I play for Team One 2020 (5th year) and have been lucky to have a great group of coaches and teammates.  We have been playing nationally for the last four years which has given me a great perspective on lacrosse and what needs to be done to play in college.  Athletically you won't find many players that have the speed and quickness that I have.  I have great length, can change the field quickly and my athletic ability makes me dangerous when dodging and playing defense.  As a teammate I'm not sure you will find a better person.  I play on a very skilled Team One team and understand my role, I'm sincere, funny, driven and I'm a positive leader in this group while being the only player from Evanston HS.  On the HS varsity team I'm on a line with my older brother Quinn (2018) and a 2018 Richmond University commit which motivates me every day and makes practices very competitive.   

When I was on the U11 team we had qualified for Dick's Sporting Goods Tournament of Champions and played in Florida over New Years.  As a 6th grader who was in the middle of basketball season I wasn't prepared and had a less than stellar tournament.  My Team One coaches let me know that this was not acceptable and that you have to "Bring It" each and every day.  As a 6th grader I learned an important lesson on accountability and striving to be the best I can be.  As I grow in lacrosse I understand that lacrosse has to be more of a focus for me and I'm working every day to get stronger and improve stick skills!  I know I can be a great addition to a college lacrosse program and look forward to the opportunity and answering any questions you may have!
