[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Hate to be the bearer of bad news, but no top D1 program is going to let a player major in engineering.

If you want to pursue engineering, you should be looking mainly at D3[/quote]

+1 Wondering if people are just replying from recent topics who have no clue about athletic recruiting.[/quote]

Not true.  I was a heavily recruited D1 athlete and coaches had no say in my major.  And we had engineering majors on athletic scholarships on my team.[/quote]

OK genius.  How many students on UVA men lacrosse roster major in Engineering in 2022-2023?  Last time I checked, NONE.  There are 50 players on the roster, and even if you have two players who major in Engineering, that's about 4%.  It is almost impossible to study STEM while being a D1 athlete.  Those that did are both incredible smarts and unbelievable work ethics.

It is like saying "Bryce Young" is a Heisman trophy winner and is also a STEM major.  Not going to happen.

DD on Capital Blue wanted to play college lacrosse and be an engineering major.  Class valedictorian,  excellent test scores, varsity athlete for four years in lax, field hockey and track (including team captain), member of HS engineering club for four years and president of it for 2.   She was upfront with college coaches on her academic goals.  Only got one offer from a school that had a strong engineering program (and a very mediocre D3 lacrosse program).
