Syracuse Orange fans didn’t need any more reasons to be excited about top-ranked signee Joey Spallina’s arrival on campus next fall, but this week brought one anyway.
On Monday, Spallina was named the USA Lacrosse Magazine National High School Boys’ Player of the Year.
The publication also named five regional players of the year; Spallina was, of course, named the Northeast Region’s top dog.
Spallina recently wrapped up his high school career for Mount Sinai as the all-time leading scorer in Long Island history, finishing with 507 career points despite missing most of his 2020 season due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
