PROVIDENCE, R.I. – Rothman Coaching Chair for Men's Lacrosse Jon Torpey has announced the five captains ahead of the 2025 season. The captains are two fifth-year students, Kevin Sweeney and Mark Witt, one senior – Tyler Blackburn, and a pair of juniors – Charlie Cave and Marcus Wertheim.
"In our brief time here at Brown it has become very clear to our staff that these five young men are exceptional people, workers and leaders," said Torpey. "We are beyond excited to have Tyler, Mark, Marcus, Kevin and Charlie leading the team into the 2025 season."
Sweeney returns for a fifth season with 41 career games played. The short stick midfielder tallied two goals and three points in 2024.
Witt, a captain in 2024, returns for a fifth season after picking up Honorable Mention All-Ivy honors in each of the last two seasons. The Andover, Massachusetts native has played in 35 career games and tallied his first career goal a season ago against Bryant.
Blackburn returns for his senior season at close defense with 31 career games played. The La Jolla, California native enters the spring with 48 career ground balls and 22 career caused turnovers.
Cave, a First Team All-Ivy and U.S. Lacrosse Honorable Mention All-America selection a season ago, returns for his junior campaign at close defense. The Arlington, Massachusetts native enters 2025 with 58 career ground balls and 28 career caused turnovers along with three goals and three assists.
Wertheim, a St. James, New York native, enters his junior year with 17 career goals and 37 career points. Wertheim tallied the game-winner in Brown's win over 13th-ranked Princeton last season.
