Approximately 3 percent of high school men's lacrosse players play at the NCAA Division I level. High school men's basketball athletes are even less likely to reach top college competition at just 1 percent.
But to play both at a D-I program? That's exactly what 2019 Tewaaraton Award winner Pat Spencer is doing next basketball season. He'll play for Northwestern instead of Loyola, where he became one of the most successful college lacrosse players of his generation.
"For the most part, I've played two sports for pretty much my whole life until college, so it hasn't been too difficult of a process that way," Spencer said on Glenn Clark Radio June 24. "I've never really gone back and thought about my individual accomplishments."
