She's listed as a forward/defender on her player profile. She projects as an outside back or wing back for the next level. She's right footed with good skill and pace. She plays as a forward for her club team and can be a game-breaking talent in the final third with her quality on the ball. Bridges will be a top talent to watch in this group as one of the few 2029s to get the invite. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":["not_in_db"],"_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_0_player_details_selected_featured_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_selected_featured_image":"field_62cca28ffa4e7","player_evaluations_0_player_details_player_name":"[player_tooltip player_id='317558' first='Amara' last='Akoh']","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_player_name":"field_62aba4c9ecf2f","player_evaluations_0_player_details_graduating_class":"2028","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_graduating_class":"field_62aba4ddecf30","player_evaluations_0_player_details_height":"null","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_height":"field_62aba4e8ecf31","player_evaluations_0_player_details_position":"101","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_position":"field_62aba4f0ecf32","player_evaluations_0_player_details_school":"","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_school":"field_62aba4fdecf33","player_evaluations_0_player_details_club_team":"[program_tooltip program_id='283251' first='Atlanta' last='Fire']","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_club_team":"field_62d20e723441a","player_evaluations_0_player_details":"","_player_evaluations_0_player_details":"field_62aba4afecf2e","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-682374c689cb8"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Georgia has been a hotbed for center backs over the past decade with some of the best of the best developing in the Peach State. Akoh could be the next in line. She is listed as a midfielder/defender on her player profile. She's played left center back in the key games for her club team. She's a physically imposing player - tall, strong, and athletic. She's dominant against her own age group, 2010s. Akoh is right footed so it opens up the possibility of playing her at right center back as well. She hits a good cross-field pass. She thrives in the duel and should shine in this competitive environment. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["207254"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-682374c689d0b"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Dixon is a center forward on the [program_tooltip program_id='283303' first='Concorde' last='Fire'] Platinum 2010 ECNL team. She has developed her all-around game as a center forward this year. She's more than just a threat over the top who can use her pace to get past the defense and finish on the breakaway. She still has that aspect of her game, but she's doing so much more. Her hold-up play to allow teammates to make runs off her has been outstanding. Her defensive game has shown remarkable improvement in taking away options and forcing the opposition into mistakes. Dixon has the tools and the determination to be the top center forward in Georgia in the near future. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["150796"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-68237e58d05bb"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Lucia Ramos is one of the representatives from Tophat at this event. She's a box-to-box midfielder who shines with her technical qualities. She could thrive at this event with her ability to make quick decisions on the ball and play one-touch soccer while under pressure. Ramos is the type of player who is instrumental to the Tophat success, but doesn't always get the spotlight as she is facilitating more than finishing. These talent events bring the focus onto the players who can play against the elite defenders and still influence the game, something Ramos has shown she does well in the past. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["280198"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-68237e58d0621"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Williams is a 2010 who plays up an age group at the club level with her club's 2009 team. She is a center forward. She doesn't looked overmatched while playing up an age group. She's still impactful with her play. She is good on the ball with a clean first touch and uses her body well to shield defenders off the ball. She could improve in her movement off the ball. She is active, but not in a way that will trouble elite center backs. Williams has unlimited potential and she is playing for one of the best 2009 teams in the country. She will be one to watch in the playoffs next month. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>US Soccer Talent ID Center Roster - 2009/2010 Cumming, Georgia, May 14, 2025 </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"className":""} --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='317558' first='Amara' last='Akoh'] ([program_tooltip program_id='283251' first='Atlanta' last='Fire'] United Soccer Association), [player_tooltip player_id='318223' first='Alejandra' last='Arevalo'] ([program_tooltip program_id='283303' first='Concorde' last='Fire']), [player_tooltip player_id='200433' first='Blair' last='Banta'] (TopHat Soccer Club Gold), Nya Baptiste ([program_tooltip program_id='283303' first='Concorde' last='Fire']), [player_tooltip player_id='142883' first='Paxton' last='Battaglia'] (TopHat Soccer Club), [player_tooltip player_id='150779' first='Emily' last='Baxter'] (TopHat Soccer Club Gold), [player_tooltip player_id='322394' first='Charlee' last='Bridges'] ([program_tooltip program_id='283748' first='Southern' last='Soccer Academy']), [player_tooltip player_id='111915' first='Mary' last='Mac Brown'] ([program_tooltip program_id='283251' first='Atlanta' last='Fire'] United Soccer Association), Ana Lucia Da Silva De Luca Ramos (TopHat Soccer Club), [player_tooltip player_id='207254' first='Makenzy' last='Dixon'] ([program_tooltip program_id='283303' first='Concorde' last='Fire']), [player_tooltip player_id='200431' first='Natalya' last='Felton'] (TopHat Soccer Club Gold), [player_tooltip player_id='200442' first='Maya' last='Fernandez'] ([program_tooltip program_id='283303' first='Concorde' last='Fire']), [player_tooltip player_id='280259' first='Kate' last='Fulton'] (TopHat Soccer Club), [player_tooltip player_id='186191' first='Nolyn' last='Herron'] ([program_tooltip program_id='283359' first='Gwinnett' last='Soccer Academy']), [player_tooltip player_id='318881' first='Jaliyah' last='Johnson'] ([program_tooltip program_id='283251' first='Atlanta' last='Fire'] United Soccer Association), [player_tooltip player_id='111870' first='Wren' last='Kincaid'] ([program_tooltip program_id='283303' first='Concorde' last='Fire']), [player_tooltip player_id='111690' first='Chloe' last='Layfield'] (TopHat Soccer Club), Kayle Mallebranche (TopHat Soccer Club), [player_tooltip player_id='200443' first='Bryanna' last='Melhuish'] ([program_tooltip program_id='283303' first='Concorde' last='Fire']), [player_tooltip player_id='207258' first='Julie' last='Melhuish'] ([program_tooltip program_id='283303' first='Concorde' last='Fire']), [player_tooltip player_id='111923' first='Damarys' last='Mendez'] ([program_tooltip program_id='283251' first='Atlanta' last='Fire'] United Soccer Association), Alison Phillips ([program_tooltip program_id='283303' first='Concorde' last='Fire']), Sam Price ([program_tooltip program_id='283303' first='Concorde' last='Fire']), [player_tooltip player_id='318233' first='Maya' last='Pringle'] ([program_tooltip program_id='283251' first='Atlanta' last='Fire'] United Soccer Association), Eden Shaw ([program_tooltip program_id='283251' first='Atlanta' last='Fire'] United Soccer Association), [player_tooltip player_id='200444' first='Ella' last='Smith'] ([program_tooltip program_id='283303' first='Concorde' last='Fire']), [player_tooltip player_id='152237' first='Reagan' last='Thompson'] ([program_tooltip program_id='283508' first='United' last='Futbol Academy'] - Cumming), [player_tooltip player_id='111860' first='Reed' last='Tingley'] ([program_tooltip program_id='283303' first='Concorde' last='Fire']), [player_tooltip player_id='111876' first='Maci' last='Tucker'] ([program_tooltip program_id='283303' first='Concorde' last='Fire']), Maddie Vallier ([program_tooltip program_id='283303' first='Concorde' last='Fire']), Sa'Niyah Williams ([program_tooltip program_id='283508' first='United' last='Futbol Academy'] - Cumming), [player_tooltip player_id='280198' first='Sydney' last='Williams'] ([program_tooltip program_id='283508' first='United' last='Futbol Academy'] - Cumming), [player_tooltip player_id='275282' first='Isabelle' last='York'] (TopHat Soccer Club)</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
