PLL Draft Recap: Possibly the Deepest Draft in Pro Lacrosse History
Tue Apr 27 2021 | Nelson Rice | Pro
If for some reason you needed more proof of the absurd level of talent on the field every weekend this spring, look no further than last night’s Premier Lacrosse League College Draft.
The advent of the NCAA’s blanket eligibility waiver last spring in light of the COVID-19 pandemic created one of the most exciting college lacrosse seasons in recent memory. It also made this year’s draft class one of the deepest in pro lacrosse history maybe even the deepest.
In a sign of the times, all 32 players selected were either fifth-year seniors or graduate students.
A familiar last name has joined an exclusive group: the 400 Club.
Nelson joins the likes of Coffman and Uppgren and Thompson for 400 points in a college career. It’s Jared Nelson, the Pfeiffer lacrosse attackman and son of Scott Nelson, who’s coaching career has spanned multiple decades and included national championships at Nazareth.
It’s a good time to be a Nelson right now.
Jared Nelson is playing for his brother, Tucker Nelson, who’s in his second year as head coach and has the Falcons at 8-1. Scott Nelson, who coached at Pfeiffer before Tucker took over, is now an assistant at No. 1 Le Moyne, where the other brother Jake is the second-leading point-scorer. The Dolphins scored a crazy OT victory on Wednesday.
