The Class of 2021 at Holy Cross now has a scoring ace, as Buckingham Browne & Nichols forward Jon Klein (Natick, Mass.) verbally committed to the Patriot League program earlier this week.
Klein, 17, played locally for GPS Massachusetts and Natick (H.S.) before transferring to the Independent School League program for the 2019-20 school year. He earned All-League honors, impressing alongside now-fellow seniors Diego Garcia (Providence College commit) and Matt Thompson (Babson commit).
That led to the Crusaders offering Klein a scholarship, reflecting how head coach Marco Koolman rates him.
