Next up in our Senior Spotlights is Oberlin College Lacrosse commit, Ben Johnson (ben.johnson15 )!
-
Ben is a 2-year player on the Vikings’ lacrosse team.  He is a starting defender and is a passionate, vocal player with a high lacrosse IQ.
-
Ben has overcome more than most to reach this point of lacrosse achievement.  In the winter prior to his sophomore season on junior varsity, he unfortunately suffered a gruesome leg injury.  Through tough grit and determination, he managed to be healthy enough to rotate on JV that same season.
-
However, we all knew he wasn’t going to stop there. Having faced this adversity, Ben had a new appreciation for both hard work and the game of lacrosse itself.  He worked tirelessly week after week to better himself as both an athlete and lacrosse player.
-
In a matter of a year, Ben had gone from a rotational player on varsity to a clear-cut starter who attackmen were forced to take seriously.  Taking matters into his own hands in summer 2019, Ben had made it his goal to get recruited for lacrosse.  He had even received interest from multiple D3 teams.  Eventually, he decided on Oberlin College.
-
Ben Johnson is the epitome of how hard work pays off and completely transformed his high school lacrosse career through his tireless dedication.  It is very unfortunate we didn’t get to see him shine in his first full year as a starter this spring.  Through his vocal presence and passion for the game, he is expected to make an immediate impact on the Oberlin lacrosse team next year.

Next Up: Wednesday, Aidan Murphy Muhlenberg Lacrosse Commit
