Kyle Whitlow’s Marquette career didn’t end the way he thought it would. He hopes the start of his professional career goes more according to plan.
On Monday in Oakville, Ontario, Whitlow will become the third former Golden Eagle drafted into the National Lacrosse League, the premier indoor lacrosse league, following Tyler Melnyk and Andrew Smistad from 2014. Since Smistad didn’t make a roster, Whitlow is trying to join Melnyk as the only Marquette players to make an NLL roster. It will be a challenge, especially after the year he’s gone through.
Whitlow is nearly six months out from one of the most severe injuries the lacrosse team has seen.
