MerchSquared.com/NHHSSports 2026 Boys Lacrosse Preseason All-State Watch List

The boys lacrosse season is set to begin on Monday, and there are plenty of players around the state poised to have a big year in 2026. Here is the MerchSquared.com/NHHSSports Preseason Watch List of players who could potentially earn all-state honors this season.

This year’s list was compiled from a combination of input from coaches, including preseason reports, information from other media outlets and in-person performances. Not everyone on this list is guaranteed to end up on an all-state team, and there are players not on the list who could end up playing well enough this season to get on an all-state team.

Thank you to MerchSquared.com for sponsoring the Watch List. Learn more about them here.
