SYRACUSE, N.Y. —Syracuse men’s lacrosse added two more prospects to its 2028 recruiting class on Thursday.

Head coach Gary Gait received verbal commitments from midfielder Owen Morrett and long stick midfielder JT Macaluso.

Both announced their commitments on social media.

Morrett, of Avon Old Farms School (CT), is a four-star midfielder who is ranked 92nd overall in the Class of 2028 by Inside Lacrosse.

Macaluso (6-foot-2, 185 pounds) comes to Syracuse via Salisbury (Conn.) but is originally from Buffalo where he attended Canisius High School.

Ty Xanders of Prep Lacrosse describes him as a “playmaker with an active stick, Macaluso makes an impact in a variety of ways.”
