No. 1 overall is Connor Shellenberger, the St. Anne’s Belfield (Va.) attackman who will attend Virginia. During his senior season, he focused on his versatility, racking up 62 goals, 38 assists and 53 groundballs.
The journey for the Class of 2019 has been a long one. One of the last groups to undergo the early recruiting process before the rule changes, these players have been under the spotlight for four or five years at this point. There have been school transfers and commitment switches, injuries and triumphs, title won and records broken. Now, finally, they’re heading to college, ready to make a big impact starting from Day 1.
The recruiting rankings are split into star ratings. Below, find the 5-Star players and check out the entirety of the Power 100 rankings on the Recruiting Database.

Over the weekend we saw Hampton, LIU, and Hartford all land commitments./cdn.vox-cdn.com/uploads/chorus_image/image/62727979/GrayWeb2018_1.0.jpg)
Hartford got two 2019 commitments, while LIU and Hampton just got one commitment each from a player in the class of 2019.
Hampton got a commitment from 2019 Northwest (Md.)/Maryland Xtreme goalie Kenny Yeaher. The 5-foot-6, 135 pound goalie has good footwork, technique, and has very quick hands. He can make saves from multiple angles and coming from different ranges. Yeaher seems most comfortable saving midrange and long shots. He is also great at stopping anything that goes low, and he know how to use his body as well.
2019 Comsewohue (N.Y.) midfielder Sean Kennedy announced his commitment to LIU over the weekend. The midfielder will be part of the first DI recruiting class for LIU as they move up next season. Kennedy is a dual-sport athlete as he plays football as well. He is able to use his athleticism all over the field, making plays multiple different ways.
Hartford picked up two 2019 commitments over the weekend from Silver Creek (N.
Y.) attackman Dylan Snow and Cherokee (N.J.) defenseman William Smith.
Smith is a good on-ball defender and know how to use his size and frame to his advantage. The 6-foot-2, 205 pound defenseman is very good at hustling to scoop up ground balls.
As a 6-foot-1, 188 pound attackman, Snow is able to put the ball in the back of the net from multiple spots on the field. He is able to beat his man and sting the back of the cage from in close and midrange.

Top 2019 Lacrosse Recruit Shellenberger Commits to Virginia
Virginia Lacrosse head coach Lars Tiffany pulled in his first big recruit on Wednesday when the No.
1 player in the class of 2019, Connor Shellenberger, verbally committed to the Hoos.
No. 1 soph Connor Shellenberger, an attackman for St. Anne’s Belfield (Va.) and @MADLAX1, has committed to UVA. Big victory for Lars’ staff.

Shellenberger, currently a sophomore at St. Anne’s Belfield (STAB) in Charlottesville, de-committed from Johns Hopkins University on 5 October. As a freshman at STAB, Shellenberger scored 21 goals, dished out 18 assists, and picked up 32 ground balls.
Recruiting Rundown’s Ty Xanders, who first broke the news, compares Shellenberger to a notable UVA lax alumni:
“Though they play different styles, Shellenberger’s playmaking ability and deceptive athleticism is reminiscent of what Steele Stanwick provided as a young standout in the Baltimore area. The Madlax product dodges with poise from just about anywhere – he can line up on the wings, thrive from X or comfortably make things happen from up top.
He’s a constant force and offensive leader who is seldom limited, often putting up multi-goal performances with flair.”
While it could have taken at least one season in Virginia with Tiffany at the helm for recruits to be drawn to his fast paced style, Shellenberger decided that now was the right time to commit.
“Last year their top three scorers (at Brown) were attackmen, so being an attackman fits right into what I want to do, I want to go to UVa, I want to score goals, I want to win national championships.” Shellenberger told NBC29. “My parents, my family are real excited to see me come home but really it was just the style of play of the coaches, right when I stepped on campus I felt an instant bond.”
On top of the bond he felt with Tiffany, the hometown feel of Virginia was a big seller.
“I really started to notice recently how awesome it is, after going to the different schools and going through the process a second time,” he said in an interview with CBS19.
“I really started to get the hometown feel, and I really started to realize how awesome it is to be able to basically look across the street from my school every day and see UVA, and to be able to one day play in that stadium.”
Shellenberger, who was also considering Duke, got the celebrity treatment.
On his recent visits, Shellenberger was so much of a priority that Duke brought out Coach K. For the Hoos, Tony Bennett & Bronco Mendenhall.

While both Shellenberger and the Virginia fans will have a few years to wait until he’s in a Cavalier uniform, his impact may be felt immediately.
“Looking forward,” Xanders said, “…there’s no doubt that Shellenberger’s commitment could act as a domino effect, as he’s the type of talent that other young players will want to play alongside in Charlottesville.”
