How this list is made
A graduation cliff is when a large share of a team's athletes at one position are seniors or grad students, so the team loses them at the same time. REACH reads class years and positions from each program's current roster on its athletics website and recounts them as rosters are updated. Only high- and medium-confidence readings are shown, and medium ones say "Likely".
Being on this list doesn't mean a coach will recruit you. It shows where a team is likely to need athletes. Coaches still decide on results, film, grades and fit, and a small group (one or two athletes) can change with a single transfer. Check the team's roster yourself before you write.
Questions about programs still recruiting
Which lacrosse programs are still recruiting for 2027?
The programs on this page have the most seniors and grad students at a position on their current roster, which usually means they still need recruits from the class of 2027 there. Filter by division, state and position, then check which ones fit your results, grades and cost.
What is a graduation cliff?
It's when a big share of a team's athletes at one position are seniors or grad students, so the team loses them at the same time. Coaches usually try to replace them with the next recruiting class.
Does being on this list mean a coach will recruit me?
No. It means the program is likely to need athletes at that spot. Whether a coach recruits you depends on your results, film, grades and fit with the team. Write to the coach with your best results and a real reason you're interested.
What does "Likely" mean?
Likely marks a medium-confidence reading: the roster lists positions or class years in a way that leaves some room for doubt. Rows without it are high confidence. Low-confidence readings are never shown.
