Florida Kids Playing Men’s D1 Lacrosse This Year
My annual ritual of looking through all the D1 rosters to come up with the complete list of all the Florida kids playing in 2023.
As usual, I would be glad to accept help for the Women’s list, since there are far more D1 Women’s programs to find.
This year, I have grouped them by Conference to make it easier to locate a player. There were transfers off last year’s rosters, as well as some players that opted to not play this season.
Summary:
95 players, of which 80 were Florida high school players, 21 total freshmen, of which 2 are not Florida grads.
