The Union standout has plenty of suitors from all over the world as he continues to impress while playing up an age group at the club and international level. Sullivan is on the professional pathway so he earns the top spot in the state rankings for now, but will be moved to the watch list when he signs his first professional contract. Sullivan is on track to graduate early and will be bumped up to the 2026 class in the future.u003c/pu003e","_player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_1_player":["157279"],"_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":"u003cp class=u0022p1u0022u003eChristie is a midfielder for PA Classics. He's been a key part of that team for some time now. He's a physically imposing player in the center of the field. He operates as a defensive midfielder but he can play box-to-box as well. He's tough in the tackle and not afraid of contact. Christie is right footed and can make 30 yard passes with ease. He likes to be on the ball and does well in finding his teammates with his ability to quickly switch the point of the attack.u003c/pu003e","_player_evaluations_1_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_2_player":["157278"],"_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":"u003cp class=u0022p1u0022u003eWanyo is a midfielder for PA Classics. He's a technical player. Good first touch, calm on the ball, and comfortable playing one or two-touch soccer. Wanyo is a talented player who might get overshadowed in MLS Next. He has all of the tools to be a top prospect. He really impressed me with his strong technique. It was hard to find a fault in his game whenu003cspan class=u0022Apple-converted-spaceu0022u003e  u003c/spanu003ehe was on the ball. He could be a bit more impactful defensively and get stuck into challenges. The quality he offers on the ball as a distributor to string sequences together is a bright spot of his game and a reason for his high ranking in this class.u003c/pu003e","_player_evaluations_2_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_3_player":["157283"],"_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":"u003cp class=u0022p1u0022u003eRava is a forward on the Lehigh Valley United Rush 09 ECNL team. He also played for the North Pocono High School Varsity Team this past season. Rava is a center forward who could also play as a support striker or as an attacking midfielder. He has been outstanding at both club and high school level. His quick feet and how he uses his body to shield the ball really stand out from game film. He's not the biggest player in this class but he often has the biggest impact in the game.u003c/pu003e","_player_evaluations_3_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_4_player":["157284"],"_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":"u003cp class=u0022p1u0022u003eArbuet is a forward for the Penn Fusion 08 ECNL team. He was an All-Conference selection in the Boys ECNL Northeast Conference last season. The tall striker plays for Appoquinimink in Delaware but he is in the Pennsylvania rankings for PrepSoccer because we use the player's club for state ranking purposes. Arbuet was an All-State selection in Delaware, the only freshman to make that list. His play at the club level has been equally as good. He has terrific footwork for a center forward with his height. He can play in tight spaces and dribble around defenders. He is right footed and can finish from difficult angles. Arbuet is a top talent from this class.u003c/pu003e","_player_evaluations_4_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations":5,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"edit","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-657b468e2015b"} /--> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:embed {"url":"https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GakXw9GEZ0o","type":"video","providerNameSlug":"youtube","responsive":true,"className":"wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio"} --> <figure class="wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio"><div class="wp-block-embed__wrapper"> https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GakXw9GEZ0o </div></figure> <!-- /wp:embed -->
