The Charlotte Copperheads of the North American Lacrosse League announced today that they have signed former North Carolina defender Ryan Flanagan. Flanagan was selected by the Copperheads in the second round of the NALL rookie draft. He was a co-captain of the Tar Heels his senior year, and experienced much success outdoors.
He won the Schmeisser Award in 2010 as the nations top defender, meaning the last two Schmeisser Award winners will bbe in the NALL (With John Lade of the Shamrocks being the other). He's 6'6'' and 220 lbs., so at that size he should be a force to reckon with in the Indoor game.
It will be interesting to see how these long pole defenders adjust to the short sticked indoor game. Remember to watch out for my NALL draft preview show on the Lacrosse Radio Network at noon on Sunday.
