Severn School 2026 lacrosse attackman Gavin Gergar has committed to Dickinson, becoming the second straight Anne Arundel County/MIAA standout this week to choose the Red Devils. Gergar follows a wave of MIAA talent to head coach Dave Webster’s program in Carlisle, Pa., which is coming off four consecutive Centennial Conference tournament titles and a run to the NCAA Division III championship game this past spring.

Why Dickinson

Gergar said Dickinson “felt like a perfect fit” the moment he arrived on campus—highlighting the coaching staff, the close-knit community, and the chance to grow on the field and in the classroom. With Dickinson’s momentum under Webster, Gergar sees a clear path to compete deep into May.

Program Trajectory

Sustained success: Four straight Centennial tournament crowns and multiple deep NCAA runs, including a Memorial Day Weekend appearance last season.
MIAA pipeline: Webster’s recent classes have leaned into Maryland’s powerhouse league—Gergar extends that trend as the Red Devils aim for their first national title.

Big Picture

Gergar becomes a headline addition for a Dickinson team built to contend again. As Severn settles into a new era under head coach Keegan Wilkinson, Gergar also steps forward as one of the program’s faces—poised to make an impact this spring and carry that momentum to Carlisle.

Quick hits

Player: Gavin Gergar
High school: Severn (Md.) — Class of 2026

Congrats to Gavin and Dickinson as the Red Devils continue to stack MIAA talent for another title push.

He absolutely loves watching games, as well as talking and writing about the sport. On Facebook, he founded the College Lacrosse Discussion Page, which has well over 15,000 members, and helped found and runs the MIAA Lacrosse Discussion Page, which has nearly 5,000 members. The MIAA A Conference is one of the strongest, most competitive and exciting high school conferences in America. Three of his favorite topics include recruiting news about players making college commitments, programs taking the next steps under their respective head coaches, and programs that are so-called "sleepers" when it comes to being very good to great. Even with lacrosse growing at such a rapid pace, Franyo loves how it is still such a small, tight, and fun world. And, in many ways, it is its own culture.
