https://lilaxjournal.com/2021/02/19/lilj-top-22-boys-in-the-2022-class/The human Swiss Army Knife, Robbie Smith comes in as number 9 on our list. As a midfielder, face-off specialist, and attackman, Robbie has a unique skillset. Huntington’s head coach, Julian Watts has enjoyed coaching Robbie, saying, “He’s a throwback, old school player. He doesn’t say a lot, but he leads by example.”
Robbie’s unique ability to take face-off’s and score on offense helps his team compete 100% of the time. Players that can take a face-off and score immediately after can change the momentum of a game on a dime and that is what Robbie can do. During the LILJ Winter League, Smith was a first teamer for his do-it-all nature on the field. Smith was at the top of the list in ground balls, points, and face-off wins. This combination shows how dangerous this kid is on the field.
Robbie decided to stay close to home and committed to Stony Brook University to play. Watts explained that Stony Brook will be getting a “Swiss army knife” type of player. Stony Brook Men’s Lacrosse is on the rise and securing players like Robbie will get them over some tough barriers in the America East conference. Can’t wait to see more of Robbie in 2021 and for making our LILJ Top 10, congratulations Robbie!
