Seven Boys Standouts from ECNL Indianapolis

ECNL hosted a spring showcase in Indianapolis last weekend. There were over 230 teams from all across the country who participated as they tested themselves against out of region opponents before the summer playoff series. There were some standout team and individual performances over the three days. Here are seven players that stood out at the event.    A Dynamic winger with a wonderful left foot. He can play on either wing but is really dangerous when cutting in from the right and shooting on his left foot. He has speed and skill to beat defenders and can deliver dangerous in-swinging set pieces. His [program_tooltip program_id='283425' first='[program_tooltip program_id='283424' first='Pateadores' last='']' last=''] team had mixed results at the Indianapolis ECNL Showcase, but Aquiles really shined in the National Selection Game for the West team. He is a player who college coaches should track for the 2027 recruiting class.     Kaiden is a box to box central midfielder who has the ability to take over games wit his passing ability. He stood out in the National Selection Game when he would receive the ball between the lines and play some impressive diagonal passes to his wingers. He showed how comfortable he is at receiving the ball under pressure and did not shy away from the the pressure of being the only 2010 in the National Selection Game. He has been instrumental in pushing his [program_tooltip program_id='283470' first='SDSC' last='Surf'] team to the top of the U16 standings in a stacked division. Big things are in store for Kaiden.     Tyler is an intelligent attacking player who can play on either wing and even as a 10. He has great movement off the ball and often drifts into gaps between the midfield and defense. He can get the ball on the half turn and play penetrating passes and he can play quick combinations through tight spaces. He was selected to the National Selection Game and also helped his Solar team walk away from Indianapolis with three wins. He is a hidden talent in the Dallas area.     Reis is a smooth right sided center back for Beach FC. He not only reads the game well. but he excels in his decisions on when to step or drop. He has a great sense of recognizing danger and has the pace and speed to go stride for stride with athletic strikers. He is comfortable with the ball at his feet and is composed in transitional moments when he wins possession of the ball. The former LAFC MLS Academy player is a big reason that the Beach FC U17 team is dominating their ECNL division and took all nine points at the ECNL Showcase in Indianapolis. Reis will only get better as he grows and matures.     Andy is a crafty left footed winger for Cal Odyssey. He is a fantastic left foot and is a shifty dribbler when he is in 1v1 situations. He had a great showing in the National Select Game at the Indianapolis ECNL event, and created some dangerous scoring chances. He could be utilized as an attacking left back at the next level. He is one to watch and track as he is a 2028 playing at the U17 level.     Chase is a quick right sided player who can play as a winger or as an attacking right back. He has great acceleration with and without the ball. He can get the ball on the half turn and glide with the ball at his feet. Chase also has excellent technique and can serve set pieces into areas for people to attack. He was a standout in the National Selection Game at the ECNL event in Indianapolis and was an all North Atlantic Conference Player last season with Penn Fusion.     Asa is a left footed central midfielder for Concorde Fire Platinum. He can cover ground as a box to box midfielder, or even sit and screen like a true number 6. His left foot and range of passing give his team balance in play as he can open up both sides of the field. Asa had a great weekend at the ECNL Indianapolis showcase. He captained his team to 3 wins and his team currently sits third in the southeast. Asa has really propelled himself to be a player to watch in Georgia this last year. His athleticism and technique make him a player college coaches should watch.    <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=rAMWOJ3VqSM </div></figure>
