Jack is a talented short-stick defensive midfielder. His Loyola Blakefield defense was one of the best in the MIAA conference. Jack has excellent footwork when covering the ball and that allows him to be a disruptive presence on the ball.

As we’ve watched him grow into a complete player at Salisbury, we believe Beau can be a premiere two-way midfielder in the BIG EAST and we can’t wait to get him to Milwaukee!”
