He possesses break neck speed and can make highly precise first touches off of long crosses and difficult passes, a skill that many players his age are still learning to develop.

Urbana made it to the 4A State Semifinals where they ran into a buzzsaw in Bowie, but with Knowlton back after having earned considerable minutes with Alliance in the National League they should be primed for another effort at States.","_player_evaluations_6_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations":7,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"edit","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-63cf3f054d689"} /--> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations":"","_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"edit","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-63cf3f054d69a"} /-->
