A rumbling righty attackman out of Farm Country, Michigan, Jack VanEss is a dawg. He's committed to Hope College, which is 45 mins away from his blue collar hometown of Alto, MI. Hope is a virtually unknown D3 that actually wins their conference every year but plays teams such as Kalamazoo, Alma, Trine, and Calvin. Regardless, at 6'1" 200lb with the skillset he has, Jack will make an immediate impact for the Hope College "Dutch". Jack does a great job finding space off a slide or in unsettled situations to get open. He uses his size well to get off his shot, and with the box background that he has, he doesn't need much space to get it off. If he was from Maryland or Long Island he would be an Insidelacrosse 3 star and going to a midmajor D1. IL doesn't want to get their thongs dirty in buttfuck Michigan, that's why we are the premier source for lacrosse news and why Terry Foy has never been to Marbella.
