He was outstanding for his team during the postseason run and throughout the season. He's an elite defensive prospect. He's been identified by US Soccer Scouts as one of the top prospects in the country and was included in the Central Regional ID Camp for the 2011 age group in April. Moddelmog is a well-rounded defender. He's strong on the ball with good skill and vision. He has defensive qualities that not many players in this class possess. He is going to be a name to know for the future from Texas. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["295679"],"_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-688baf20c6135"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Roberts is a midfielder on the AHFC 2011 ECNL team. He plays as a defensive midfielder. He wears the captain's armband for his club team. His is a leader on the field. His team finished as one of the top teams in the Boys ECNL Texas Conference for the 2024/2025 season. They took pride in outworking the competition and a lot of that mentality comes from Roberts. He's a player who is going to compete from the opening whistle to the final whistle. He jumps off the screen from game film for his unrelenting effort. Roberts is a midfielder in the mold of Tyler Adams - first pick for a teammate, absolute nightmare to play against. If he continues to refine his skill and tactical approach, he will be a top midfielder in this class. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["295683"],"_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-688baf20c617e"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Ramos is a forward on the [program_tooltip program_id='283639' first='Dallas' last='Hornets'] 2011 MLS Next team. He was a standout during the MLS Next Cup. Ramos' quick feet stood out from game film. He has lightning fast movements and gets around defenders with that burst. He is a game-breaking talent in the final third as he typically gets past the first defender with his quick footwork. He has a good first touch and plays with his head up. Ramos was one of the top performers for [program_tooltip program_id='283639' first='Dallas' last='Hornets'] during the last club soccer season, and should continue to be one of the top attacking talents in Dallas. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["295681"],"_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-688baf20c61c4"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Bustami is a forward/midfielder on the AHFC 2011 ECNL team. He was dominant during the ECNL playoffs. He's a six-foot tall attacking talent. There is an aspect to his game that utilizes that strength and vertical advantage over less developed peers. The competition at the ECNL level lacked a challenge for Bustami at times. When faced against the top teams, he rose to the occasion. He's perhaps overlooked a bit in accolades, but he's been one of the best attacking talented outside of MLS Next during 2025. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["295684"],"_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-688baf20c6208"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Kotun is a winger/forward on the [program_tooltip program_id='283654' first='Global' last='Football Innovation Academy'] 2011 MLS Next team. He plays up an age group at the club as well. He can play on the wing, center forward, or even outside back. He has the pace to shine on the wing. He is a talented dribbler and uses his fluid stride and quick footwork to get around defenders. He has been an efficient finisher at the club level. He's first to react to chances and scores quite a few goals with his smart positioning. Kotun has shown all the characteristics of an elite prospect on the wing and emerged as a top talent to know from this class. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
