Six late-round prospects to watch in 2025 PLL Draft

By Adam Lamberti | Apr 30, 2025

Ahead of the 2025 College Draft presented by Q-Collar, let’s take a look at six of my favorite later-round prospects. These are players who aren't likely to be selected in Round 1 or 2 but could still have a big impact.

Joe Juengerkes (SSDM - Rutgers)

No. 36 overall prospect
No. 4 SSDM

With two top SSDM prospects in Casey Wilson (Denver) and Patrick Hackler (Johns Hopkins) out for the rest of the year with lower-body injuries, Juengerkes is ascending up coaches' boards.

The Princeton transfer has 50 ground balls and 14 caused turnovers in his graduate season as a Scarlet Knight, but the thing that makes Juengerkes especially appealing is his transition ability.

He has 11 points (7G, 4A) while only turning the ball over four times in 2025, yet curiously only had one assist during his time at Princeton.

Perhaps it is just the difference of Rutgers’ go-go-go style of play compared to Princeton’s, but the IQ and decision-making Juengerkes has shown this season have been impressive nonetheless.

Juengerkes was also named a captain in his first and only season at Rutgers, a testament to his character and leadership.

Alex Marinier (Attack - Ohio State)

No. 25 overall prospect
No. 6 attackman

Jules Heningburg compared Marinier to Utah Archers midfielder and fellow Buckeye Tre Leclaire on a broadcast this season.

It’s not far-fetched.

With 41 goals on 41.8% shooting, Marinier is a righty flamethrower who can bring it easily over 100 mph and has a similar shooting style to Leclaire. He does most of his damage from the righty wing, where he blends power with accuracy to consistently beat goaltenders.

Marinier is like a red-hot three-point shooter in basketball in that he can take over games when he’s firing confidently. He has five games with four-plus goals this season.

While his calling card is right-handed step-downs, I believe Marinier can hold his own as a dodger in the PLL, as well. He’s not going to blow past you with speed, but he has ideal size and is particularly good at dodging tight to the cage.

If a team is looking for some more shooting prowess, Marinier seems like a clear choice later in the draft.

Ryan Cohen (Attack - Michigan)

No. 34 overall prospect
No. 9 attackman

Statistically speaking, this season has been the worst of Cohen’s career. With 46 points (20G, 26A) while only shooting 21.3%, it's the lowest-scoring of any of his four seasons as a Wolverine.

Much of the reason for this is Cohen’s status as the top option on his offense for the first time.

Michael Boehm (Philadelphia Waterdogs) was the No. 1 attackman for the Wolverines during Cohen’s first three seasons, and Cohen benefitted from this.

In 2025, Cohen’s production is suffering because of the increased attention on him. But there’s no denying his talent. He’s a smaller but shifty lefty who is great at running off picks in space.

He has experience running through the box as a midfielder for the Wolverines, which is likely where he’ll have to carve out a role in the PLL.

His size and lack of production this season have dropped him down in my rankings, but I still like the idea of Cohen as a midfield option. He’s a balanced feeder and scorer (110G, 117A) who can do a multitude of things offensively and offers appeal as a speedy option dodging out in space in any offense.

Max Krevsky (Midfield - Yale)

No. 23 overall prospect
No. 6 midfielder

Like with Cohen, Krevsky’s stats won’t blow you away. He has 20 points (9G, 11A) on 22% shooting. But what you are banking on is his potential.

Krevsky is clearly an elite athlete; the way he moves offensively and in the middle of the field is a step above a lot of other players.

Krevsky is intriguing because he’s an offensive midfielder at Yale, but his skillset is suited for a two-way midfielder role in the PLL, which is where a lot of coaches see him, as well.

Plus, he was voted as the sole captain of the Yale squad this season, a tremendous honor and responsibility.

Pace Billings (LSM/Defense - Michigan)

No. 32 overall prospect
No. 4 LSM

Billings’ versatility is his defining trait as a PLL prospect.

He played primarily LSM during his time at Princeton but now is a top cover defender down low for the Wolverines in his graduate season.

He’s right around the NCAA top 10 in caused turnovers per game (1.85) while averaging 4.46 ground balls per game.

Billings’ ability in the middle of the field is why he projects as an LSM, but coaches are sure to love his ability to play close defense, as well, giving them flexibility if they scoop up Billings in the third or fourth round.

Devon McLane (Attack/Midfield - Notre Dame)

No. 35 overall prospect
No. 7 midfielder

McLane has been an unsung hero on the Fighting Irish offense for the past two seasons.

In 2024, he was a first-line midfielder who racked up 37 goals. From step-down shots to dodging a short stick to scoring inside, McLane’s IQ was on display all season long for the national champions.

In 2025, McLane is back at attack, where he played at Brown before transferring to South Bend.

With modest numbers (15G, 8A), he’s kind of a glorified “glue guy” who makes the right play and understands the talent around him, but is still capable of putting up big numbers.

McLane will likely be a midfielder at the next level, where I believe he can score a lot of goals on midrange shots, which is the best part of his game. With zero wasted motion, he is always ready to fire and always seems to get himself into good spots on the field.
