Expert Analysis
Nikolai Littleton | Prep Soccer Scout
Man this girl is fast. Insane burst of speed. Good on the ball as well. The TCU commit really impressed me today in San Juan’s Penalty Shootout victory against XF. This team is dangerous and can go all the way to win this thing. Macniven can get onto even the most overhit through balls. A midfielder’s dream to pass to the ball in behind too.

Already proving her value Mac Niven is on the score sheet early this season. Playing for Davis Legacy in season, the forward is know gearing up for Division 1 soccer at TCU. There’s no better preparation than a USL W season under her belt with California Storm. Her production, timing, and confidence in the final third show a player ready for the next level.

The 3rd TCU commit on this list. Macniven will be playing for a loaded California Storm roster. Despite her age she will be one of the fastest players on the field every week. She has an excellent ability to get past defenders and deliver an end product.

The Davis Legacy attacker is headed to TCU in 2027. Macniven is a fantastic dribbler and finds pockets of space in the opposing defense really well. She is shifty and quick when closing space. Currently sitting at 12-2-1 and ranked #14 in the country the Horned Frogs are flying this season and just picked up another talented young player to their 2027 class.

Sneaky pick up from TCU. Macniven is a Davis Legacy standout who is set to join the Horned Frogs in 2027. TCU is some of the best recruiters in the country and this one is no different.

She showed her speed, ball control, and dribbling and cutting skills with control, She scored the first goal of the match as she received the ball outside of the 18 and split defenders before deciding to avoid a 1v1 with the goalkeeper who cutoff her angle. Samantha turned right and with almost the same pace, she turned back in to fire off a rocket shot to the back post. Awesome display of speed, control, and decision making skills. Looking forward to seeing her have a breakout Junior year as she has a total of 27 goals and 28 assists at the varsity level.

Mac Niven had a wonderful showing in Davis’ win over Del Mar Sharks. The winger was nearly unstoppable. She used her skill and speed to create chances for herself and her teammates. Her assist on the opening goal showed how good she is in the final third.

Mac Niven is listed as a forward, midfielder, and defender on the roster – and I could imagine a scenario where she plays every position during this event. She is an electric player on the field. Her cleats seem to have a jet pack on them as she breezes past players with the ball at her feet with such ease. She is likely to feature on the wing given her speed, defensive tenacity, and quality in the final third. She is one of those young talents that every scout is excited to see against the best players in the country.
