Second-year Navy men's lacrosse head coach Joe Amplo announced today the names of the program's 19-player incoming freshman class, which was ranked as the No. 1 recruiting class in the country by Inside Lacrosse. 

One of the most highly-ranked incoming classes in school history, the Class of 2024 features two five-star commits, five four-star and a trio of three-star players. The Mids landed five of the top 50 recruits in the country including the No. 5 overall and No. 4 attackman and the No. 13 overall and No. 2 defenseman.

Additionally, three of Navy's incoming players participated in the U.S. men's U19 team tryouts last summer with all three making the cut from more than 100 players to 50, while one earned a spot on the final roster. The World Lacrosse Men's U19 World Championship was due to be played in July in Limerick, Ireland, but was postponed until next July.

The Class of 2024 has earned 10 U.S. Lacrosse All-America citations, four Under Armour Underclass All-America laurels and 12 all-state selections. One incoming freshman was named the state's player of the year, while four players combined to lead their programs to five state titles.

"I am excited to welcome this group of incoming plebes to the Academy and to the Navy lacrosse program," said Amplo. "The caliber of athlete and the character of these 19 young men is what you aspire to have join and impact your program."

The freshman class represents players from nine states, including four each from Maryland and Pennsylvania.
