Five Uncommitted Prospects Poised to Break Out at ECNL Florida

<p>There are 230 teams headed to Lakewood Ranch, Florida this week for the first ECNL National Event of the 2026 calendar year. The top contenders in the 2008/2007, 2009, and 2010 age groups will look for the opportunity to play in front of scouts from all over the country. Below is a scouting report on some of the top uncommitted talent from Florida. </p>    <p class="text-gray-700">Heyer is a goalkeeper on the Sporting Jax 09 ECNL team. She also plays for the Honduras Youth National Team. She's got plenty of experience at the international level. Heyer is an excellent shot-stopper. She's got quick reflexes, good technique in her diving, and strong hands. She's a solid distributor and looks comfortable with the ball at her feet. She was excellent during the ECNL Fall season and her Sporting JAX team sits near the top of the standings in the Southeast. For scouts looking for a 2027 goalkeeper, Heyer should be top of their lists. </p>    <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=SjOD8Jb7I0Q </div></figure>    <p class="text-gray-700">Catrone is a goalkeeper on the [program_tooltip program_id='283755' first='Tampa' last='Bay United'] 09 ECNL team. She is a two-time ECNL All-Conference selection. She's been highlighted previously on Prep Soccer as one of the top goalkeepers in the state. She's athletic, secure hands, and makes quick decisions. Catrone has been impressive in how she will high point the ball and catch it with her hands away from her body. She's fully capable of commanding the 18-yard box and eliminating chances on the cross with her activity off the line. She had an outstanding showing during ECNL Kansas City and should be in the spotlight again as one of the top goalkeepers at the event. </p>    <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=JDHt1BfsrX0 </div></figure>    <p class="text-gray-700">Reynolds is forward/attacking midfielder on the [program_tooltip program_id='283667' first='Jacksonville' last='FC'] 09 ECNL team. She was named to the ECNL Southeast First Team All-Conference last season. She is one of the top attacking talents among the uncommitted 2027s at this event. There is a clear path for her to make an early impact at the Division I level, as she is a versatile player who can thrive in the right system of play thanks to her speed and determination. She's had standout moments on the wing during the ECNL fall campaign. She's won the battle in 1v2 situations with her close ball control and quick first step to get away from defenders. She's shown the ability to finish even with a defender on her back. Reynolds' team has not picked up as many positive results as they would like up to this point in the campaign, but she's put together strong performances against high quality competition. She should be in the spotlight during this event as a forward with top upside. </p>     <p class="text-gray-700">Seays is an outside back on the [program_tooltip program_id='283349' first='Florida' last='Kraze'] Krush 09 ECNL team. She can play a variety of positions, and I believe she played in a more advanced role previously. She's been playing outside back at the start of this ECNL campaign and been outstanding in that role. She can play on either side of the formation. She's good on either foot. She's a dangerous option in the attack as she is willing to cut inside or take the opposition on along the touch line. Seays is a physical defender who uses her body well. She has the all the tools to be an elite 1v1 player at the next level. </p>     <p class="text-gray-700">Dodge is a midfielder/defender on the [program_tooltip program_id='283667' first='Jacksonville' last='FC'] 09 ECNL team. She is a captain for her club team. She was also part of the ECNL Southeast All-Conference team last season. Dodge is a leader on the field. She is easy to spot on game film as she lifts the level of her teammates around her. There is a lot to like about her game from a versatility standpoint. Dodge has a future as an outside back. She is a stellar 1v1 defender. She stands players up, delays, and puts in tackles with great timing. Dodge can pop up in a number of spots for her club team, so it might take some imagination from scouts to figure out where she would be best for the next level. Wherever she is, she's a baller and goes out there to compete on every play. </p>    <p></p>   <p></p>
