Will Erdmann

TIFFANY ON ERDMANN
2025 – “What a statement made by Will in his first season of college lacrosse! Will became a defensive midfielder we completely relied upon, proving to be a stalwart defender with difficult matchups. He also quickly grasped our defensive principles and schemes, allowing his teammates and coaching staff to trust Will with more and more responsibilities. One of our best clearing midfielders, he will become more productive this year with his transition offense.” 2024 – “Will has made his presence felt on our practice field right from Day 1. The edgy and aggressive nature of his on-field persona manifests into a midfielder who is eager to both crunch the opposing dodger and then sprint down the field with the ball so he can unload his own shot. This wild and raw style of play is exciting to experience and will be an asset for us in the future once Will grows more comfortable with our team defensive schemes and terminology as we focus him at the short-stick defensive midfielder position.”

WHY UVA?
“I chose the University of Virginia because UVA has the best balance of rigorous academics while also being one of the top athletic institutions. There is no other place I would rather spend my next four years than on such a vibrant campus located in such a great town. The UVA campus is second to none and Charlottesville is one of the most amazing towns in America. I am so honored to have the privilege to suit up for a program with nine national championships.”
