<p class="text-gray-700">By a mile, he displayed the highest soccer IQ out of all attacking players in the tournament. Playing 2-3 steps ahead of everyone he looked like a veteran with many years of experience. To add to his tactical maturity, he is technical and crafty, making all the right decisions. He also has a very high work rate, making me believe he was the best player, at the showcase, that weekend.</p>

<p class="text-gray-700">Jayden immediately stands out as he is fast, quick, and athletic. He runs at the back line consistently, instead of looking for a backyard pass, making him a threat, and an attacker to always have your eye on. He tends to drift centrally instead of staying out wide, confusing the opponents' defense. He is not overly technical, but his pace and mentality make a difference.</p>

<p class="text-gray-700">A very active and effective forward, Jose makes his presence left constantly. He is good with the ball with his back to goal, as well as running at the defense. He is very competitive and brings out the best in his teammates. A constant runner, he is always making the back line guess how to defend him. </p>

<p class="text-gray-700">A surprise to make this list, as he is playing up and is just a sophomore. But his athleticism and presence are undeniable. A difference-maker for his team with a high motor, he had a knack for always being at the right place at the right time. A simple player who plays within himself, he doesn't overcomplicate things and makes his team better by being "steady Eddie". </p>

<p class="text-gray-700">He could've scored the goal of the showcase. A brilliant one-touch inside-the-foot blast from a service from the left side, Eli deserved the celebration he got with his mates. An extremely active and tireless frontrunner, his pace bothered opponents' backlines the entire weekend. He is quick and fast and smart and knows how to pester defenders with great timing on his runs. He is technically clean and can shoot, effectively, from most spots.</p>
