PJ Cox ledger:
PJ Cox
High School: Skyline High, WA
Graduation Year:2016
Position:LSM/Defense
College Choice:Marquette University
Club Affiliation:West Coast Starz / Seattle Starz
Major lacrosse honors, All-Star teams, camps: Denver Pioneer Challenge All Star, Adrenaline Challenge All Star, University of Delaware MVP Camp all star, Philly Showcase All Star, Adrenaline Black Card Showcase, NW Best Showcase, Adrenaline High Rollers Showcase, Ohio State 100 camp, Marquette Prospect Camp
Academic honors: Academic High Honors Freshman and Sophomore year
What will you major in/study? Business
Why did you choose the school? “I chose Marquette for a number of reasons, but the one that tops them all is the outstanding academics and amazing business school as well as the academic support team for student athletes at Marquette. I’m also extremely excited to play for last seasons Big East Coach of the Year, Coach (Joe) Amplo, and his amazing staff with Coach (Stephen) Brundage and Coach (John) Orsen. They are all great coaches, but they are even better people.”
Thoughts on this past HS lacrosse season/team’s outlook for next season? “Last season my team (Skyline) fell short of where we wanted to be, losing in a very controversial state playoff game. Obviously our goal was and still is to win a State Championship. We lost only five seniors and we return the majority of our starters, which is going to be huge for us this season. We have worked extremely hard this past off season, and we plan to make a deep run in state this year.”
Thank You: “I would like to thank everyone at Adrenaline involved in the West Coast Starz and Seattle Starz programs, specifically Jono Zissi, Lewis Ratcliff, Mitch McMichael, Jacob Manning, Rich Schwartz, Adam Kurtenbach and my High School coach Sam Hutson as well as my wonderful parents.”
Other schools considered? Ohio State, St. Josephs, Robert Morris, Hartford
