2022 Boys Atlantic Showcase Player Preview
Jack Hamilton (A) 2024
Perkiomen School | Big 4 HHH
Picture an attackman who possesses a great deal of strength and knows exactly how to use it against those defending him. Mix that with a killer crease roll and a knack for assists and there you have Jack Hamilton. The NXT Philly Showcase All-Star is back again for more. Defenders beware when matched up against number Hamilton. After a great performance at the last Showcase, it’ll be no surprise when he’s turning heads this Wednesday.
Jameson Meyer (A) 2025
Wesleyan School | 3d Georgia
Finding the back of the net is no issue for rising sophomore attackman Jameson Meyer. A native of Georgia, Meyer is just the type of player everyone wants to have on their team. His ability to see his teammates in front of the cage to make assists and create goal opportunities is unmatched. On top of his offensive skills, Meyer is also able to create defensive plays with his speed and strong riding skills. After being named to the All-State team this spring, Jameson Meyer is sure to ball out this weekend.
Justin Wixted (A) 2023
Spring-Ford | Dukes Elite
Justin Wixted has no sweet spot on the field. This is because he can and will shoot from anywhere. Anytime Wixted has the ball in his stick he is a threat. His ball-handling skills allow him to face defenders with full speed and his impeccable footwork allows him to shake his matchup off of him with ease. A two-time Philly Showcase All-Star, a Manney’s Men honorable mention selection, and the 2022 PAC offensive player of the year, Justin Wixted is sure to bring his A-game once again to the Atlantic Showcase.

Liam Bradley (D) 2023
Canterbury School | Albany Stags
Coming off a successful spring season, Vermont native Liam Bradley is more than prepared for the upcoming NXT Showcase. Bradley is a ground ball machine tallying over 40 ground balls this season. Attackmen better tuck their sticks when they see Bradley as he is a menace when it comes to causing turnovers. He has the confidence and IQ needed to make big plays when it matters most. That is exactly what we anticipate seeing from Liam Bradley on Wednesday.

Stephen Pitts (D) 2024
Hempfield | NXT LC
Stephen Pitts is a defender who is not afraid to do it all. Ground balls, causing turnovers, and pushing transition. Pitts isn’t afraid to shoot or dish out an assist. He’s a big body that is strong and will send his opponents to the ground. He’s also an awesome box player which helps his hands and skill on the offensive side of the field. It’s no wonder he was previously selected as a Philly Showcase All-Star. More of this top-level play is expected from Pitts on Wednesday.

Ryan Beller (G) 2023
Morris Knolls | Jersey Thunder
Ryan Beller is an All-State selection with some real talent in goal. Where most goalies are weak, Beller is not. Instead, he is quick to drop low and make show-stopping saves. This season through 9 games, he was able to keep his save percentage at well over 70%. Outside of the cage, he’s a stud too. He’s fast and sees the field very well, he’s got great stick skills and has great command of the clear. After highlights showing behind-the-back passes, it’s safe to say Ryan Beller will be pulling some tricks out of his sleeve at the Atlantic Showcase.

Mark Davison is the product of one of the top lacrosse clubs in the country, VLC. Davison is a constant threat on both ends of the field. As a defender, he has great stick control and is always challenging his opponents for ground balls. Using both his stick and his big body he keeps his opponent from driving and scoring. On the offensive side of the field, he has shown some serious shooting range. Davison will surely thrive in this Showcase format

He is well versed in our Showcases events having attended them in the past we are familiar with his game
Grayson Kuhl (LSM) 2024
Calvert Hall | Rock National 2023/Nationals 2024
Grayson Kuhl is just the type of hard worker you want on the field. Kuhl is fast, and it shows when he is pushing transition. His speed mixed with his endurance is key. Off the faceoff, he hustles to every ground ball that comes his way. On defense, he sticks to his man like glue and has a good eye for picking up the open man.
