Last year, center mid Will Raphael (Andover, Mass.) made the jump from Phillips Andover to the Division 3 ranks with NESCAC powerhouse Tufts University.
As part of the Class of 2019, another Big Blues standout will join head coach Josh Shapiro's program, which just made its third Final Four in the last five years.
Senior striker Rolando Rabines (Topsfield, Mass.), also a standout on NEFC's 2001 NPL team, has committed to the Jumbos. Tufts is no stranger to prep school recruits, with right back Sterling Weatherbie (Port Elizabeth, Maine), a product of Phillips Exeter, and winger Gavin Tasker (Concord, Mass.), formerly of Middlesex, both in its starting XI.
