Will Garrett ’13 is in his fourth season as an assistant men’s lacrosse coach at Washington and Lee for the 2026 season, and his first as the Assistant Head Coach. Garrett also continues to serve in his role as the Offensive Coordinator and Director of Recruiting.
In his first three seasons back in Lexington, the Generals own a 51-15 overall record and a 26-2 mark in conference play, plus ODAC Tournament championships in 2023 and 2025, NCAA Quarterfinal appearances in 2023 and 2024 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 32 players to All-ODAC accolades in his first three seasons and 21 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 has seen several players either break records or move well within single-season or career statistical leaderboards. These high marks include Hudson Pokorny's '23 single-season assists (59) and points (109) records in 2023, Alex Brown's '24 single-season goals (76) record in 2024, and Hillis Burns '25 finishing Top 10 in career goals (152), assists (96) and points (248).
