Colleges are back in session throughout the region, and -- hopefully -- new college lacrosse seasons are not far behind.

It’s not too early to spotlight some of the top players from the region we’ll have an eye on next spring, assuming seasons will take place as intended. We conclude our offseason series looking at the men from the NESCAC, one of the top leagues in Division 3.

There's admitted uncertainty around next spring in most programs, with many student-athletes making decisions in the next few weeks about whether they'll be on campus for spring semesters.

But assuming there is lacrosse and the players are back, these are five guys we'll be watching. Players must be New England natives or from a New England school.
