Sayville’s own Dylan McNamara is headed to Tallahassee. The Sayville High School senior (Class of 2027) has signed with the Florida State University women’s lacrosse team, the Seminoles announced Wednesday, November 11, as part of their 2027 signing class of seven.
Dylan, an attack/midfielder, is rated a five-star recruit by Inside Lacrosse and ranked No. 38 in the national class of 2027. She helped lead Sayville to the New York State Class C championship in both 2024 and 2026, earned Newsday All-Long Island First Team honors, and plays club lacrosse for the Long Island Yellow Jackets Stadler team, ranked second in the nation by U.S. Club Lacrosse. She also plays basketball for Sayville, earning all-league and all-conference honors in 2026, and she is a member of the National Honor Society and a recipient of Sayville High School’s “Breakfast of Champions” award, which recognizes work ethic and academic success.
It is a family path to Tallahassee: Dylan’s older sister, Loghan McNamara, plays lacrosse at Florida State as part of that program’s inaugural class, and her brother, Braden, plays lacrosse at Queens University of Charlotte. Their parents are John and Melissa McNamara.
Florida State head coach Sara Tisdale named Dylan among the signees who will “bring dynamic offensive firepower” to the Seminoles.
Congratulations, Dylan — all of Sayville is proud of you, and we will be watching in garnet and gold!
