    Spencer Hogaboom is looking to expand his recruiting opportunities this fall.

    “I have a few options right now where I could commit right away,” said the 2023 midfielder from Arlington (N.Y.). “Right now I still want to expand my options and commit before the (spring) season.”

    Hogaboom had a strong junior season for Arlington, collecting 36 goals, 15 assists and 22 groundballs while earning Section 1-AA Honorable Mention for a 12-5 team. He is a Player to Watch for the Victory Events Beast National Showcase Oct. 29 at the Conshohocken Proving Grounds.

    Hogaboom is planning on attending at least three fall showcases; he will also compete Oct. 16 at the Maryland Lacrosse Showcase in Elkridge and Nov. 12 at the Victory Events Liberty National Showcase in Wilmington, DE.

    Hogaboom, who is 6-foot-1, says some of his strengths are his dodging, vision and passing skills.

    “I can dodge from pretty much anywhere on the field,” he said. “I have pretty good vision and I can see the field pretty well. I also am a positive player and very unselfish.”

    What is Hogaboom working on in the months leading to the 2023 season?

    “I have been working on off-hand shooting, and, honestly, you can always improve your footwork,” he said. “I am also trying to become more vocal.”

    Hogaboom said he would make academics a big focus of his college choice. “I am starting to realize I want to focus more on academics when choosing a school,” he said.

    Why does Hogaboom enjoy competing in recruiting showcases?

    “You get to play with people you’ve never seen before,” he said. “It gets you used to the college background.”
