<p>Jack Cazneaux, Union FC</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->

<p>Cazneaux is from Northern California, playing at Union FC in Sacramento and playing at the powerhouse Jesuit program. He is the key in the midfield, the cog that makes the engine go. He shows a lot of pace in the midfield, displaying quick and agile movements, with the ability to stop and go quickly. He makes decisions quickly and processes the game very fast. He is strong and skilled on the ball, and is a physical midfielder with great strength. </p>

<p>[player_tooltip player_id='54737' first='Zolly' last='Corrigan'], Ballistic United</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Corrigan is a Bay Area player, playing high school at Berkeley and playing club with Ballistic United. He has incredible top speed and he accelerates quickly to get to his top speed. He moves the ball quickly and then hunts for space, knowing when to make a run or when to float into an area and be patient. He switches the ball at his feet quickly and with ease, can shoot with either foot and finishes neatly and cooly, slotting balls home through traffic. He also threads precise passes through the defense as he plays a nice ball.</p>

<p>[player_tooltip player_id='6932' first='Aidan' last='Jennings'], DMCV Sharks</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Jennings is from San Diego, playing at Torrey Pines High and playing club with DMCV Sharks. He is a technical player, and it appears the game comes easy to him as his movements, his ball control and his technical ability all look incredibly smooth. He is a driving force in the midfield, acting as the engine, the facilitator as he brings the ability to build the attack and transition quickly.</p>

<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>[player_tooltip player_id='7125' first='Ben' last='Norris'], Orange County SC</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Norris plays quickly, covering all over the pitch and doing so with a high work rate and energy. He goes box-to-box, contributing on both ends. Going forward, he can really pick a pass, and he can also take on defenders. He shows the ability to finish as well, displaying an accurate and powerful shot. With his engine, he tracks back quickly and will contribute defensively, stemming an attack by stepping up on the ball or stepping into a passing lane.</p>

<p>Race Serota, Sand & Surf SC</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Serota is an excellent player on a Harvard-Westlake team that has been loaded, so he's been a little overshadowed. He plays for his local club, Sand & Surf, and has stayed loyal. He's a max effort player who has a top engine and never lets off the gas, covering the entire pitch and making an impact. He is a smart player, one who sees the game develop, has great vision and knows how to pick apart a defense from the middle of the pitch. He can do it all with his feet, showing great passing ability and finishing ability, and is very good at dispossessing when tracking back.</p>
