The Buckeyes Get Off To A Strong Beginning In The Classroom – Ohio State Buckeyes

COLUMBUS, Ohio While the 2023 season is fast approaching, the Ohio State men’s lacrosse team is already showing signs of a successful year with its performance in the class last fall.

In true Buckeye fashion, the men’s lacrosse team attacked the fall semester with relentless effort and purpose. For 13 consecutive semesters, the team earned an overall grade point average of over 3.20. The Buckeyes finished the fall of 2022 with a 3.56 GPA.

Ohio State offers not only a highly competitive environment for our people on the field, but also a first-class experience in academia with the resources and support available to students, said Ohio State head coach Nick Myers. I am proud of the work our players put in this semester to maintain the standard of excellence that Buckeye Lacrosse has set in the classroom.

In its first college semester, this year’s class of freshmen demonstrated a successful transition to Ohio State with nine GPA posts of 3.7 or higher, including Sam Burns, Jonny Cool, Blake Eiland, Oran Gelinas, Tate Jones, Coleman Kraske, Griffin Liedel , Johnny Maccarone and Dillon Magee.

Eight student athletes earned a flawless 4.0 last fall, including Drew Blanchard, Kyle Borda, Sam Faber, Gelinas, Liedel, Connor Mitchell, Mitchell Sandberg and Colby Smith.
