Expert Analysis
JR Eskilson | Prep Soccer Scout
Armstead is a defender on the Eastside FC 08 ECNL team. She was named to the ECNL All-Conference Second Team last season. She is one of a few 2027s to receive that honor. She is a versatile defender who could fit in as a center back or an outside back. She is a fluid athlete and graceful runner. I think she could improve on her 1v1 defending. Her hips can get too square to the attacker when in open space. She also pays a bit too much respect as she is better in tighter space thanks to her quick reactions and physical approach. I’ve seen very few forwards who can get past her when she is close with the proper defensive body angle. She is excellent on crosses, which shows her future as a center back. She wins aerial duels and does well in clearances. The key trait from Armstead that I saw from game film was her competitiveness. She never quit on a play. She played with this belief that she could stop any attack and that mentality is going to make her a favorite for scouts.
