Highlights & Background
Tyler Hess joins the coaching staff with extensive experience as a high-level defensive specialist at both the Division I and high school levels. A native of Guilderland, NY, Hess built a reputation as a tenacious Long Stick Midfielder (LSM) and close defender known for his ground ball play, athleticism, and defensive IQ.
Hess played Division I lacrosse for Boston University in the Patriot League. After overcoming an injury his freshman year, he developed into a contributor for the Terriers’ defensive unit. He made his collegiate debut in a 12-4 win over Vermont and saw action in key conference victories against Lafayette and Bucknell. During his time at BU, he was part of a program that consistently competed against some of the top offenses in the nation, honing his understanding of team defense and transition play.
Before his time at BU, Hess was a dominant force at Guilderland High School. A four-year varsity starter, he graduated as one of the most decorated defenders in the program's history. His extensive list of honors includes selection as a US Lacrosse All-American, Under Armour All-American, and Brine All-American. As a senior, he was named a First Team Times Union All-Star and demonstrated his two-way ability by recording 10 goals and 6 assists as a defensive midfielder.
Tyler is a 2021 graduate of Boston University, where he earned his Bachelor of Science in Communications and Advertising. He brings the same discipline and leadership he learned as a D1 student-athlete to his coaching, helping the next generation of players develop their fundamental stick work, footwork, and game-time decision-making.
