Rhett Chambers ’27 has been an all-around allstar for Providence College’s men’s lacrosse team this season. Even before the season started, Chambers was formally recognized by the conference through his selection to the Preseason All-Big East Team. The junior midfielder was also named USA Lacrosse Division 1 Men’s Player of the Week back in February. The week of March 9, he was named to the Big East Weekly Honor Roll for men’s lacrosse. Then, on March 23, Chambers was named to the New England Intercollegiate Lacrosse Association D1 Team of the Week. Also that week, Chambers was named again to the Big East Weekly Honor Roll for men’s lacrosse. Chambers currently ranks No. 3 in the Big East in points per game at 4.44, and also No. 20 among NCAA D1 players in assists per game at two. He currently leads the Friars in assists by a large margin, with 26 on the season. He is No. 1 on the team in goal scoring with 27 goals on the season. A scoring threat on all sides, Chambers has recorded five or more assists three times this season and has had six hat-trick games. Besides his impressive work for the Friars, Chambers competed for Team USA in the 2025 World Lacrosse Men’s U20 Championship last August on Jeju Island in South Korea. While the team ultimately lost to Canada, they were undefeated in pool play. In the championship game, Chambers scored one goal to contribute to the five goals scored that game. Besides his work on the field, Chambers is an accomplished finance major and is heavily involved in the Student-Led Asset Management Fund. Chambers is a dedicated student athlete who puts in tremendous effort both on and off the field. With countless accolades from this season alone, which is far from over, Chambers stands out from his teammates as one to watch.
