Will Garrett ’13 is in his third season as an assistant men’s lacrosse coach at Washington and Lee for the 2025 season. After his first season as Assistant Coach, Garrett was elevated to Offensive Coordinator ahead of the 2024 season.

In his first two seasons back in Lexington, the Generals own a 34-11 overall record and a 16-2 mark in conference play, plus on ODAC Tournament championship in 2023, NCAA Quarterfinal appearances in both seasons and a national semifinal finish in 2024. In order to make it to the 2024 semifinals, W&L rallied from a seven-goal deficit in the second quarter against top-ranked Salisbury for a 16-15 win in overtime.

During his first season, the W&L offense flourished by shattering the program’s single-season record for goals in a season with 403 (17.5/game). That offensive firepower propelled the team to a program-record 18 wins in 2023, followed by another 16 in 2024.

Garrett has guided 22 players to All-ODAC accolades in his first two seasons and 13 USILA All-Americans, while the coaching staff has been awarded the IMLCA’s top regional coaching honor each season. With Garrett’s help, the program’s single-season goals, assists and points records have all been reset in the last two seasons – Hudson Pokorny ’23 with 59 assists and 109 points in 2023 and Alex Brown ’24 with 76 goals in 2024. Both players’ records are more than 10 better than the previous high marks.
