Three Ohio State lacrosse players taken in National Lacrosse League Draft

Three Ohio State players heard their names called Thursday night during the 2021 National Lacrosse League Draft.

Tre Leclaire – No. 4 overall, San Diego Seals

From Ohio State:

A native of British Columbia, Leclaire is just 12 goals shy of becoming Ohio State’s all-time leading goal scorer. He’s amassed 173 career points, sixth highest in program history, on 135 goals and 38 assists. Before COVID-19 forced the cancellation of the season after seven games, Leclaire was second in the Big Ten in goals (26) and third in goals per game (3.71). He’s a three-time All-American selection by the United States Intercollegiate Lacrosse Association (USILA).

Leclaire has made an impact from the day he stepped on campus. As a freshman, he scored 49 goals for a Buckeye team that played in the NCAA Championship Game. Over the next two seasons, he was the team’s leading scorer and top goal-producer. Among active players through the end of the 2020 season, he ranks sixth in career goals scored.

A veteran of 54 career games, Leclaire graduated in May with his degree in sport industry. He elected to use the NCAA’s eligibility relief for spring student-athletes and returned to Ohio State for the 2021 season. He is enrolled in the sports management master’s degree program.
