4/20/2023 Who is the most dominant FOGO currently in NCAA? Lets dive in! Below is the current 2023 stats for the top 10 fogos according to NCAA.COM.
If you are talking career stats, you have to go with #99 Sissleberger, who has the best 5 year accumulation of stats at the X. Next on that list is Zach Cole (St. Joseph’s University) & Luke Wierman (Maryland). Best newcomers to this list are Jake Naso (Duke) and Matt Gunty (Brown) who have both improved from 2021-now and are dominating matchups this year.
Zach Cole was a large part of leading his SJU Hawks to win the North East conference in 2022 and is the best scoring threat on this list with 6 goals and 4 assists this far on the season.
On another point, you can’t not talk about the dominant performances that Luke Wierman and crew has been putting together for Maryland this season and last year as national champs. The Maryland wingers and FOGO have put on a clinic that all young players should watch and study.
While watching the clips of these 10 players, our top list of FOGOs you DO NOT WANT TO GO AGAINST is below:
- Zach Cole – He does it all. Several moves and exits and the offensive threat.
- Mike Sisselberger – The ultimate competitor. Mike’s background in wrestling, commitment to the weight room, and technique on clamps and exits is ELITE.
- Luke Wierman – Just a beast. Luke can make all the moves and is an incredible 1st time ground ball machine. His ability to push early offense and cause turnovers is just a matchup nightmare.
- Matt Gunty – Very technical and efficient. Gunty’s rise up the ranks of the FO nation is eye opening. Matt went from an above average fogo in 2022 to an absolute force in 2023.
- Jake Naso – He just keeps winning. Naso has had a gauntlet of games vs ranked teams this season and has won virtually every game. Jake has taken an incredible 349 draws this year and has 112 ground balls!
Looking forward to seeing these matchups in conference and the NCAA tournament!
