COLLEGE PARK, MD — Maryland men's lacrosse standouts Logan McNaney, Jack McDonald, and Bryce Ford were selected in the 2025 Premier Lacrosse League Draft on Tuesday night.
McNaney was taken 11th overall by the Denver Outlaws, becoming the first goalie selected in the draft. McDonald followed at 16th overall in the second round, going to the Carolina Chaos. Ford rounded out the night, picked 32nd overall by the Utah Archers.
With these selections, Maryland now boasts 76 professional outdoor lacrosse draftees and has had at least one top-12 pick in each of the last three drafts.
McNaney joins a strong legacy of Terps with the Outlaws, including current Maryland assistant coach and defensive coordinator Jesse Bernhardt. He leaves Maryland as the program's all-time saves leader (743), breaking a 41-year-old record previously held by Kevin O'Leary. McNaney was named the 2022 NCAA Tournament Most Outstanding Player, earned 2025 First Team All-Big Ten honors, and was a Top 25 Tewaaraton Award finalist.
McDonald, the first long-stick midfielder selected in this year's draft, heads to a Chaos squad that currently has no other Terps on the roster. A key piece of Maryland's defensive success, he led the team in ground balls (42) and ranked second in caused turnovers (11), helping anchor a unit that ranks third nationally in scoring defense (8.13 goals per game).
Ford, a graduate transfer from Fairfield, joins the reigning back-to-back PLL Champion Utah Archers. He's started all 14 games this season for the Terps, recording multi-point performances in nine of them and helping Maryland secure the No. 2 seed in the NCAA Tournament.
McNaney, McDonald, Ford, and the second-seeded Terps open NCAA Tournament play on Sunday, May 11, hosting the winner of Air Force vs. Robert Morris at 2:30 PM at SECU Stadium. The game will air on ESPNU.
