Ryan Williams '19 Recruiting Profile

My name is Ryan Williams, and I want to become a lawyer like my father.  I want to attend college and major in either Economics or Political Science.  I am a very hard worker, someone who grinds it out which is why I think that in a short time period (just over 4 years), I have become an effective defensive player.  I originally wanted to play football, because I am very physical and like to hit.  At my father's suggestion, I tried lacrosse and instantly fell in love with the sport as it combines basketball, soccer, hockey, and some elements of football.  It is so much fun, and I have made several good friends, and really enjoy the tournaments and the college prospect days.  I think what separates me from other prospective candidates is that I am still relatively new to the game, and really enjoy being coached.  I am not so focused on playing time, and starting, and more interested in becoming the best player that I can be regardless of whether that means I get more playing time.  I am just as content to cheer my teammates on as I am to be on the field.  However, make no mistake, I will do everything I possibly can in terms of working hard in practice to earn time on the field.
