NXT's The Circuit [First Class Lacrosse](https://www.1stclasslax.com/blog/author/first-class-lacrosse) : Published October 23, 2026 ![Men's 2033 & 2034 Standouts - NXT's The Circuit](https://www.1stclasslax.com/hs-fs/hubfs/2026%20Blog/Circuit%202033%20+%202034%20Featured%20Image.jpg?width=1920&height=1080&name=Circuit%202033%20+%202034%20Featured%20Image.jpg) The Best in Class team was thrilled to be on-site for Session One of NXT's The Circuit on October 10th and 11th at Capelli Sports Complex in New Jersey. BIC had 3 talent evaluators and media on site as top club programs from across the U.S. and Canada competed head-to-head under college rules with a shot clock in the Classes of 2031, 2032, 2033, and 2034. Breaking down who stood out to our staff in the 2033 and 2024 classes: ## Attack   FELIX FORBES | 91 SOUTH PREMIER | 2033 Even while drawing a shutoff, Forbes found ways to stay involved, working the pick game to get the ball back in his stick. A skilled dodger who can feed and score, he consistently got topside on his matchup and buried an up-the-hash shot to the far pipe against Project Midwest. EASTON BONEY | NATIONS BEST | 2033 Operating primarily from the righty wing, Boney consistently got what he wanted, using picks to sweep over the top or re-dodging underneath when defenders overplayed his right. When slides came early, he made defenses pay with quick, patient feeds. As opponents keyed in on him, he still made his mark in the ride, the clear, and all over the field. CHASE PASIEKA | PEACHSTATE NATIONAL | 2033 The offense ran through Pasieka, and he handled that role with his eyes up and a willingness to attack going right or left. His quick release showed on sweeps, and he was able to turn the corner to score coming from X. CALLAHAN ORR | NATIONALS LC | 2033 Orr is a versatile offensive player who can threaten defenses from multiple spots on the field. He’s most dangerous down the alley, where he wins his matchup and pulls a shot on the run. Multiple evaluators were impressed by his game. JACK SPRINGER | NATIONALS LC | 2033 Springer finished the event in style, using a nice handle to bury the game-winning goal against Red Hots. Wearing 66, the slick lefty attackman reminded our staff of Matt Gibson. > [View this post on Instagram](https://www.instagram.com/reel/DeXOmy_PdBn/?utm_source=ig_embed&utm_campaign=loading) > > [A post shared by Field Vision Media 📸 (@fieldvisionmedia)](https://www.instagram.com/reel/DeXOmy_PdBn/?utm_source=ig_embed&utm_campaign=loading) CULLAN SAXON | SUPREME | 2033 Few players finished in tight as well as Saxon. He's comfortable dodging off balance, and when he turns the corner, he shoots with great placement. EYRE TAJ | RED HOTS NATIONAL | 2034 Taj posted six goals and an assist in one game, using shifty footwork and changes of speed to keep defenders guessing. He showed savvy play at the island and stayed alert around the crease, scooping a loose ball for a quick finish. He also worked hard in the ride, winning back possessions for his team. DECLAN SPITTAL | PEACHSTATE NATIONAL | 2034 Spittal does his best work on the low wing, skillfully setting up his defender before getting underneath. He understands spacing and makes smart decisions with the ball. He has a great split dodge from X, showing he can create from behind the cage as well. JACK CARR | ADVNC NDP | 2034 Carr can score in a variety of ways. He pairs a powerful shot with good touch around the net. His decision-making stood out, including a great read in transition. He also contributed in the ride, earning his team extra possessions. RYAN NEWELL | SUPREME | 2034 A skilled right-handed attackman, Newell operates from X and the low wings. He plays with his eyes up, reading the defense as he carries the ball. He gave defenses more than one problem to solve, showing he can finish in several different ways. HARRISON TREVENEN | PEACHSTATE NATIONAL | 2034 Trevenen is a great shooter with slick stickwork, and defenses responded by shutting him off. He still found ways to get to the middle, scoring a low-to-high goal off a left-to-left split and finishing a lethal inside-roll for another goal. > [View this post on Instagram](https://www.instagram.com/reel/DerHfXhx0u1/?utm_source=ig_embed&utm_campaign=loading) > > [A post shared by The Circuit (@thecircuitlax)](https://www.instagram.com/reel/DerHfXhx0u1/?utm_source=ig_embed&utm_campaign=loading) ### OTHERS THAT STOOD OUT: LUCAS LAFRANCA | 91 SOUTH PREMIER | 2033 LUCAS GOLDCHAIN | SILVERBACKS | 2033 JACK NOLAN | PROJECT MIDWEST | 2033 BLAKE NOWAK | ADVNC NDP | 2033 KEEGAN KLIMKOWSKI | NATIONS BEST | 2033 GEORDAN KAMBANIS | EIGHTEEN NATIONAL | 2034 KELLAN MCKENZIE | RED HOTS NATIONAL | 2034 BRAXTON BLANCHARD | SUPREME | 2034 WILL ROTELLI | ADVNC NDP | 2034 GRAYSON GREGORIO | NATIONS BEST | 2034 BENTLEY PRIME | NATIONALS LC | 2034   ## midfield   LOGAN AMOS | PROJECT MIDWEST | 2033 Amos made an impact at both ends, pairing good defense with some great looks as a feeder out of the dodge. His athleticism showed in the middle of the field, where he took wings and had an impressive presence on ground balls. He scored a highlight low-to-high goal on the run. AYDEN WARD | NATIONALS LC | 2033 A grinding two-way midfielder, Ward did a little bit of everything, including setting up the game-winning goal against Red Hots. He fired the ball forward with zip, created a couple of nice assist opportunities, and found a teammate on the back pipe for another helper. Defensively, he also came up with a caused turnover. LUKE LEACHMAN | SUPREME | 2033 Leachman is an old-school two-way midfielder who wins his matchups on both ends of the field. An athlete who dodges with both hands, he scored back-to-back goals, including one off a sharp hitch and step-down. He also does a great job hunting the ball in the clear. > [View this post on Instagram](https://www.instagram.com/reel/DeXGi_gRgvu/?utm_source=ig_embed&utm_campaign=loading) > > [A post shared by Best In Class Events (@fclbestinclass)](https://www.instagram.com/reel/DeXGi_gRgvu/?utm_source=ig_embed&utm_campaign=loading) ANDREW SARDO | RED HOTS NATIONAL | 2033 Sardo showed range as a midfielder, winning faceoffs and coming up with tough ground balls. He showed that he was comfortable with the stick in either hand, sticking a righty goal off a rollback. > [View this post on Instagram](https://www.instagram.com/reel/Deb3l0KRApP/?utm_source=ig_embed&utm_campaign=loading) > > [A post shared by The Circuit (@thecircuitlax)](https://www.instagram.com/reel/Deb3l0KRApP/?utm_source=ig_embed&utm_campaign=loading) CAMERON ROSSMAN | NATIONS BEST | 2033 Rossman consistently won his matchups on the wing, using slick dodges to get underneath his defender. A good athlete, he was a threat to finish in front of the cage once he got there. CLAYTON STRICKLAND | ADVNC NDP | 2033 Strickland combined size with production, finishing with five goals and six assists. Just as dangerous as a passer as he was as a finisher, he showed the vision to create for teammates. He also showed good footwork when covering the ball on defense. THOR DEWITT | PROJECT MIDWEST | 2034 DeWitt was a Swiss Army knife for Project Midwest. He can play both ends of the midfield and slide down to attack, giving his coaches flexibility wherever they need him. ADRIEN MORRISON | SUPREME | 2034 Morrison helped spark Supreme's offense, highlighted by a sharp split dodge to win underneath. He also sees the field off the dodge, and he competes hard on the defensive end. BECKETT MILLIGAN | EIGHTEEN NATIONAL | 2034 Milligan's powerful outside shot made him a threat from range, and he backed it up by showing poise as a dodger. Most comfortable working from the wings, he has the versatility to play either midfield or attack. ### OTHERS THAT STOOD OUT: XAVIER MCCARTHY | NATIONALS LC | 2033 BERNARD HUNTER | RED HOTS NATIONAL | 2033 ROYCE SBORAY | RED HOTS NATIONAL | 2034 BENTLEY GATELY | ADVNC NDP | 2034   ## DEFENSE/LSM   TUCKER ST. MARTIN | EIGHTEEN NATIONAL | 2033 St. Martin is sound defensively, but what stood out was his work once the ball hit the ground. A ground ball vacuum, he won possessions for his team and used a great stick to move the ball in the clearing game. WARD GILCHRIST | 91 SOUTH PREMIER | 2033 A fundamental on-ball defender, Gilchrist plays from a great stance with his stick out on his matchup's hands. He keeps his stick active and is good off the ground. He showed a good feel for the game in the middle of the field, and always seemed to be making plays. GRIFFIN REDINGER | PROJECT MIDWEST | 2033 Redinger was an animal in the middle of the field, hustling in the 6v6 game and even taking faceoffs. He can play LSM or close defense, and he was a playmaker in transition, picking off passes and contributing a goal and two assists. BAUER HANSON | NATIONS BEST | 2033 Hanson is an eraser on the ball, but his value extends beyond covering his matchup. He turns defense into offense by winning ground balls and moving the ball upfield in the clearing game. FYNN CRINGLE | RED HOTS NATIONAL | 2034 An athletic defenseman, Cringle put the ball on the ground, causing turnovers while maintaining great position. He was a disruptive presence for an undefeated Red Hots team that allowed the second fewest goals the age group. ### OTHERS THAT STOOD OUT: WILLY FORTHOFER | 91 SOUTH PREMIER | 2033 PARKER RINGWOOD | RAZORBACKS NATIONAL | 2033 RYAN MURPHY | PEACHSTATE NATIONAL | 2033 PADDY BRAND | ADVNC NDP | 2033 KEEGAN ROSENSCHEIN | RED HOTS NATIONAL | 2033 COLTON CANADA | NATIONALS LC | 2033 CONNOR KIM | SILVERBACKS | 2034 ALEX PISKADLO | RAZORBACKS NATIONAL | 2034   ## FACEOFF   HUDSON TAYLOR | ADVNC NDP | 2034 Taylor won faceoffs, but his value didn't stop at the X. He can stay on the field and play both ends as a two-way midfielder, giving ADVNC more than just a faceoff specialist. ### OTHERS THAT STOOD OUT: BEN STAFFORD | 91 SOUTH PREMIER | 2033 LUCAS CASSELLI | NATIONALS LC | 2033 CASH COLLINS | RED HOTS NATIONAL | 2034   ## GOALIE   CORMAC MCHUGH | NATIONS BEST | 2033 McHugh is an extremely athletic ball-stopper. He handles the simple saves for his defense, and his athleticism lets him make the home-run saves as well. MILES BIEAR | SUPREME | 2033 Biear is a ball-stopper who is especially good at taking away low shots. He also threw crisp up-and-out outlets to start the clear. FINN CALLAGHAN | EIGHTEEN NATIONAL | 2034 Quick hands and fast reactions made Callaghan a consistent ball-stopper in the cage for Eighteen National. More than one evaluator noted his play, and he came up with some great saves along the way. ### OTHERS THAT STOOD OUT: OWEN COMER | PROJECT MIDWEST | 2033 ROBBIE RITCHIE | RED HOTS NATIONAL | 2035 GILL SHIMEALL-EVANS | PROJECT MIDWEST | 2034   Are you a 2029, 2030 or 2031 player looking to compete against some of the best players in the nation?
