He has been a standout at that age group for some time. He is easy to spot on the field as usually one of the tallest players. He stands tall and plays with confidence. He uses his size well too. He will poke the ball away from center forwards with his long legs when they try to shield the ball from him. He's also dominant in the air.rnrnu003c!u002du002d /wp:paragraph u002du002du003e","_player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_1_player":["18052"],"_player_evaluations_1_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_1_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_1_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_1_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_1_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_1_evaluation":"u003c!u002du002d wp:paragraph u002du002du003ernrnMidfielder.

He is a midfielder who looks ready to make the jump up in a level. He was very good for his side at the GA Cup recently. He is always showing for his teammates and working to get the ball. On the ball, he makes quick decisions and plays clean accurate passes to his teammates. He has a sharp soccer mind and looks ready to play against older competition to see how he does at that level.rnrnu003c!u002du002d /wp:paragraph u002du002du003e u003c!u002du002d wp:paragraph u002du002du003ernrnu0026nbsp;rnrnu003c!u002du002d /wp:paragraph u002du002du003e","_player_evaluations_1_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_2_player":["124788"],"_player_evaluations_2_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_2_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_2_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_2_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_2_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_2_evaluation":"u003c!u002du002d wp:paragraph u002du002du003ernrnWinger/Forward.

He is one of the standouts on the Crossfire Boys ECNL 08 team, which is probably the best team in the country in that age group in ECNL. Crossfire recently won the Dallas Cup with an impressive showing in the final. Hume is a winger who has pace and power. When he gets past the defense, there is no stopping him. He is a good finisher and has a cannon for a shot. He has all the tools to be top prospect from this class.rnrnu003c!u002du002d /wp:paragraph u002du002du003e","_player_evaluations_2_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_3_player":["124205"],"_player_evaluations_3_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_3_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_3_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_3_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_3_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_3_evaluation":"u003c!u002du002d wp:paragraph u002du002du003ernrnMidfielder.

The Orlando City prospect responded well moments later with a goal from well outside of the box with his left foot on a shot to the lower corner of the goal. He's an exciting talent with a lot of quality. He was named to the Best XI from Generation adidas Cup by MLS. Jarell Bonilla was also a breakout star for Orlando City at the event.rnrnu003c!u002du002d /wp:paragraph u002du002du003e","_player_evaluations_3_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_4_player":["14072"],"_player_evaluations_4_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_4_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_4_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_4_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_4_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_4_evaluation":"u003c!u002du002d wp:paragraph u002du002du003ernrnMidfielder.

Check out the PrepSoccer scouting report on Curtis here. He was also a standout from the Generation Adidas Cup in Florida. He showed his quality on both sides of the ball as he was excellent in pressing and disrupted the opposition with his defensive work.rnrnu003c!u002du002d /wp:paragraph u002du002du003e","_player_evaluations_4_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations":5,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"edit","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-6435ad7196f36"} /--> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
