[quote=Anonymous][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.

I would not base anything on the UVA lax roster.  UVA isn’t even an engineering school.  Those kids are likely destined for commercial real estate or finance.  Seven players on Stanford’s women’s lacrosse team have declared a major and 4 are engineers.  Choosing an easier major to be able to play lacrosse is so incredibly short sighted and I would not play for a team requiring that.  It’s not like anyone is going to have a lacrosse career after college.[/quote]

UVA is not an engineering school?  Say who?  Look at Virginia Tech lax roster and see how many of them are majoring in engineering or Computer Science, likely none.  [/quote]
