He's the top-ranked forward in the class and appears in fifth place overall in Texas. Hallie is a dynamic and skilled attacking player who has the tools to challenge opposing backlines in different ways. He's very quick and aggressive on the ball, having the quality to take on defenders 1v1 out wide with ease. The forward also thrives when used more centrally, benefiting from his quick thinking and smart movement off the ball to infiltrate the penalty box. Hallie has superior finishing skills and rarely misses a chance inside the box.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:embed {"url":"https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=opbLZ5Ylayc","type":"video","providerNameSlug":"youtube","responsive":true,"className":"wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio"} --> <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=opbLZ5Ylayc </div></figure> <!-- /wp:embed --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["210663"],"_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-69a63c4c2eec2"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Choate plays for the [program_tooltip program_id='283657' first='Houston' last='Dynamo'] U16 team in the MLS Next League. He is listed as the second-best forward in the state and the seventh most promising prospect overall. A high-energy, well-rounded attacking player, he can be used anywhere in the attack and is extremely consistent with his performances. Choate has been mostly used centrally in a two-forward system this season, showing great ability to work off his teammates to create chances and impressive finishing skills to convert them. He can also play out wide, where he uses his pace to attack the space behind the backline and his ability to deliver accurate crosses. On either spot, he contributes a lot defensively, too, be it by pressing opposing defenders or tracking back.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:embed {"url":"https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f3N62Iu05XY","type":"video","providerNameSlug":"youtube","responsive":true,"className":"wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio"} --> <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=f3N62Iu05XY </div></figure> <!-- /wp:embed --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["190974"],"_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-69a63c4c2ef0b"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Sanchez Moreno plays for the [program_tooltip program_id='283243' first='Albion' last='Hurricanes FC'] U16 team in the ECNL League. He ranks fourth among the forwards and 12th overall in the Lone Star State. A highly technical and intelligent forward, he's a player teams build their offense around because of his impressive ability to influence the game in the attacking half. Sanchez Moreno moves very well to get the ball in space and is very effective with his playmaking, beating defenders in tight spaces and feeding teammates with excellent passes. He's also an elite finisher who is very calm in front of the goal and can also score from distance.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:image {"id":334138,"sizeSlug":"large","linkDestination":"none"} --> <figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img src="https://prepsoccer.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/8/2025/10/2J4A0185_64a339.jpg?w=1024" alt="" class="wp-image-334138" /></figure> <!-- /wp:image --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["349082"],"_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-69a63c4c2ef50"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Viana is with the [program_tooltip program_id='283612' first='Austin' last='FC'] U16 team that competes in the MLS Next League. He took spot number six among the forwards in the last Rankings update and is listed in 29th place overall in Texas. Viana joined Austin before the start of the season and immediately became one of their top goalscorers and offensive threats. A striker, he was an excellent presence inside the penalty box and thrives by battling for space with opposing defenders. Viana is very calm in front of the goal and very resourceful and precise when finishing chances, converting them at an impressively high rate.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:image {"id":349667,"sizeSlug":"large","linkDestination":"none"} --> <figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img src="https://prepsoccer.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/8/2026/02/2J4A0339.jpg?w=1024" alt="" class="wp-image-349667" /></figure> <!-- /wp:image --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["261476"],"_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-69a63c4c2ef90"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Bishesari represents the [program_tooltip program_id='283658' first='Houston' last='Rangers'] U16 team in the MLS Next League. He made it into the top among the forwards, ranking ninth, and is 44th overall in the Class of 2028 in Texas. He's a high-impact winger who contributes goals and assists with his direct game in the attacking half. Bishesari is very creative and quick with his dribbling, having great success in his attempts to take opponents 1v1 around the penalty box. He's also a reliable finisher who can score with either foot and is calm and composed in front of the goal.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:embed {"url":"https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NoYVuLLinh4","type":"video","providerNameSlug":"youtube","responsive":true,"className":"wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio"} --> <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=NoYVuLLinh4 </div></figure> <!-- /wp:embed -->
