Overview
As the Premier Lacrosse League (PLL) heads into its 2025 season, anticipation around the MVP race is already heating up. With a compact schedule, elite competition, and growing fan engagement, the MVP title carries weight both on and off the field.
Recent seasons have highlighted the impact of two-way midfielders, dynamic attackmen, and even defenders making their case with ground ball dominance and turnovers created. As parity continues to grow across teams like the Archers, Whipsnakes, Waterdogs, and Chaos, individual brilliance will once again be essential to team success—and MVP consideration.
Top Contenders
Tom Schreiber (Archers LC)
A perennial MVP candidate, Schreiber’s combination of offensive vision, scoring touch, and midfield dominance keeps him among the most valuable assets in the league. If the Archers repeat or contend deep into the playoffs, Schreiber will likely be at the heart of it.
Grant Ament (Archers LC)
With his slick passing and ability to control tempo, Ament remains a key driver in Archers’ offense. If he stays healthy and ups his assist numbers, voters may look his way as the offensive orchestrator.
Matt Rambo (Whipsnakes LC)
One of the league’s most consistent producers, Rambo has the ability to take over games with strength, precision, and clutch moments. Another strong Whipsnakes season could thrust him right back into the MVP conversation.
Michael Sowers (Waterdogs LC)
Fast, fearless, and creative—Sowers’ playmaking out of X is second to none. His ability to shake defenders and rack up both goals and assists makes him a fan-favorite dark horse for MVP.
Josh Byrne (Chaos LC)
Known for his physicality and highlight finishes, Byrne’s value skyrockets when Chaos makes playoff noise. If his scoring form returns to peak levels, he’s a serious threat.
Brennan O’Neill (Rookie Watch – Atlas LC)
Coming off a standout college career at Duke, O’Neill brings high expectations. If he adapts quickly to the professional pace and leads Atlas to a top seed, voters could reward the breakout storyline.
What Makes a PLL MVP?
Unlike some leagues, the PLL MVP race isn’t just about numbers—it’s about visibility, leadership, and the player’s ability to impact both ends of the field. Media coverage, highlight plays, and fan engagement often help elevate candidates.
Players with consistent multi-point games, ground ball control, and team leadership will draw attention as the season progresses. Voter fatigue also plays a role—fresh names with strong narratives can edge out repeat contenders.
