The Virginia men's lacrosse program unveiled its 2023 signing class on Wednesday. The Cavaliers are welcoming yet another talented incoming freshmen class, headlined by seven four-star prospects and five-star attackman McCabe Millon, the No. 1 overall recruit in Inside Lacrosse's 2023 recruiting class rankings. 

"What a crew we have coming to Charlottesville this fall," said Virginia men's lacrosse head coach Lars Tiffany. "The high school recruiting class of 2023 was a strong one, and we are fortunate to have many of its very best here. The offensive firepower is complemented by exciting athleticism, and there are several defensive prospects with highly anticipated potential."
