We've asked this during recruiting and it seems like it depends on the school. At SJC, where the majority of the varsity football team seems to commit to high-end D1 programs, I don't know that's it's realistic to expect to do both, but at some of the smaller schools (or schools with less competitive football programs) it seems like the door is more open.
Prep has a decent football team with several D1 kids. They beat Loyola Blakefield, who is legit. Of the top 7-8 kids on the team, 4-5 of them are starters on the lacrosse team, including the QB, TE, WR. Same thing at Lamdon, most of the better football players were starters on lacrosse team, headed D1 for lax. QB, RB, etc.
