Johnny Hackett

TIFFANY ON HACKETT
2025 – “The Ignition Switch! No one gets our offense jump-started quicker from above the goal than Johnny does with his multiple-step dodges. He keeps the opposing defender guessing when the burst will occur due to his exceptional and varied footwork. Johnny will focus as a midfielder this upcoming spring, responsible for drawing a lot of attention or making a defense pay for not sliding to him. Johnny has smoothly made the transition into a new locker room, embracing our men and culture.”

WHY UVA?
“Entering the 2024-25 transfer portal, UVA was my top pick for their style of play and championship history. When I visited the beautiful campus and met Coaches Tiffany, Cassese, Turner and Greco, I was totally sold. Combining this rich lacrosse history with a nationally renowned academic institution and an amazing alumni network made my decision an easy one.”
