MEDFORD, Mass. - Tufts University men's lacrosse senior attack Jack Regnery has been named to the 2026 Tewaaraton Award Men's Watch List, as announced by the Tewaaraton Foundation.

Widely regarded as the preeminent individual honor in college lacrosse, the Tewaaraton Award is presented annually to the top male and female player in the United States. Founded in 2001, the award recognizes excellence on the field while honoring the sport's Native American heritage. Selection committees are composed of premier collegiate coaches from across the country.

Regnery stands out nationally as the only Division III player named to the 2026 Men's Watch List, placing him among the elite players in all of college lacrosse, regardless of division. The senior is one of 50 men's players selected from 26 schools, a group that features standout individuals from perennial Division I powers such as Syracuse, Maryland, Duke, Virginia, and North Carolina.

Regnery enters the 2026 season with 188 career goals (2nd all-time at Tufts), 75 career assists, and 263 career points (6th all-time at Tufts). He finished the 2025 season with 103 points on 78 goals and 25 assists in 20 games as the Jumbos captured their second consecutive NCAA Division III title. 

Players not included on the initial watch list will have additional opportunities to be added in March, with the field later narrowed to 25 nominees in April.

Five finalists will be announced in early May, and the 2026 Tewaaraton Award recipient will be revealed live on May 28 at the Tewaaraton Ceremony in Washington, D.C.
