Princeton's Freshman Class Ranked No. 1 By Inside Lacrosse

INSIDE LACROSSE STORY ON PRINCETON'S TOP-RANKED FRESHMAN CLASS

The Princeton men's lacrosse team last May graduated 16 players — its largest senior class ever — after a trip to the 2022 NCAA Final Four and an Ivy League tournament championship and NCAA berth in 2023. How do you possibly replace that class?

Well, having the No. 1 freshman class in the country is a great starting point.

Princeton's 12-man freshman class has been named the best in Division I by Inside Lacrosse and recruiting expert Ty Xanders. The Tiger class features seven players from IL's Top 100 list, as well as others who may not have made that list but who will push for starting spots and playing time.

The 12 members of the class are:
