Syracuse, N.Y. -- Onondaga Community college lacrosse standout Austin Staats has renounced his college eligibility in favor of declaring for next month's National Lacrosse League draft.
The news comes via a list on the NLL website which details the players who have made that choice.
Staats, an attackman, could not be reached for comment Sunday. Last week, he said he was deciding between declaring for the draft or returning to OCC this fall to finish his degree there. Had he taken the second route, Staats said he hoped to be eligible to play Division I ball in the spring of 2019.
