Rabil's mother insisted that he stick with lacrosse, and he fell in love with the game. Throughout his elementary and middle school years he continued playing lacrosse.
At Watkins Mill High School, Rabil secured a spot as a starting player on the varsity team during his freshman year.

Following attention from lacrosse programs nationwide, Rabil ultimately chose to commit to Johns Hopkins University, attributing his decision to the exceptional leadership of Coach Dave Pietramala, as well as the program's legacy of championships and culture.
