A generational talent. The Zion Williamson of college lacrosse. Incomparable. These are just a few of the ways people described Brennan O’Neill before he even donned a Blue Devils jersey for the Duke men’s lacrosse team.
A household name for lacrosse fans since he was 14 years old in eighth grade, O’Neill showed the casual sports fan why that was the case with one of the most memorable 12 months a college athlete can have.
After helping lead the U.S. to the 2022 World Lacrosse Men’s U21 Championship last summer, O’Neill entered his junior season at Duke as a preseason All-America first-team choice by the USILA — the nation’s coaches — and a preseason All-America third-team pick by Inside Lacrosse.
