FLN has been around enough Florida laxers to have a pretty good feel for who will succeed at the next level – the ones who will prove to the college coach he made a good decision in offering a coveted spot.  Like many other states, we in Florida still have to do the extra hustle to get noticed on the national stage and competing with players from established hotbed programs is always part of the challenge.  With his size, athleticism, durability, can do attitude and lax pedigree as a Florida transplant who started playing the game as a youngster in Connecticut, Brandt Guldin is someone who can absolutely play D1 lacrosse.  He is someone who can be trusted with the ball and you know the clear will succeed if Brandt is tasked with getting the job done.  Another member of the Team Florida U15 Bronze Medal winners, Brandt played primarily as a defensive middie on the St. Andrew’s state runner-up team in 2013 and added offense (including man-up) to his role this year.  FLN knows Brandt already has good options and we are interested to see where his journey takes him.
