Hmm, I started this thread because PSU tweeted out their schedule in December. However, that tweet seems to have been removed (hence the Not Found in the 1st reply). PSU did tweet out a schedule earlier today, so perhaps something changed.

Any idea what happened to Matt Lazaro?? Came in as a 5* attack in the 2023 class. Don’t think he ever saw the field in ’23 or ‘24 and now not on the roster. Didn’t see any transfer news. Just thought it was odd as PSU doesn’t bring in 5*’s with any regularity.

He played 2 games in '24. He didn't appear in any games in '23.

It does appear that he's not on PSU's roster for this season. I haven't seen anything about him in the portal, but there isn't a lot of coverage of MLAX portal movements. So as to what's the story with him, I really can't say.

Thanks! Just thought it was odd.
