<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>U.S. Soccer is hosting Regional Talent Identification Centers for the Youth National Team in key markets across the country. US Soccer scouts were in Florida in January with the spotlight on the 2008 age group. Below is a breakdown of a few of the 2027s from the event plus the full roster from the Talent ID Center. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["84421"],"_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_0_evaluation":"u003c!u002du002d wp:paragraph u002du002du003ernrnAttacker.

She is a left-footed winger who could also feature at center forward or attacking midfielder. She is good with either foot and can put in a cross with her right, which makes her a versatile option to feature on either wing. She has a good move to create space in 1v1 situations - and only needs a small opening to rip off a shot. Her play at IMG Academy has shown she is developing more aspects of her game, and her combination play through the center of the field has improved this season. She is making good decisions on the ball and setting up teammates with chances.rnrnu003c!u002du002d /wp:paragraph u002du002du003e","_player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_1_player":["21172"],"_player_evaluations_1_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_1_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_1_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_1_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_1_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_1_evaluation":"u003c!u002du002d wp:paragraph u002du002du003ernrnCenter back.

She is tall, athletic with a long stride. She matches up well against center forwards when tasked with man-marking. She is right-footed with a strong leg. She has a commanding presence on the field and is a leader for her team. She is part of the ODP at a regional level and one of the standouts from that group.rnrnu003c!u002du002d /wp:paragraph u002du002du003e u003c!u002du002d wp:paragraph u002du002du003ernrnu0026nbsp;rnrnu003c!u002du002d /wp:paragraph u002du002du003e","_player_evaluations_1_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_2_player":["112067"],"_player_evaluations_2_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_2_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_2_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_2_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_2_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_2_evaluation":"u003c!u002du002d wp:paragraph u002du002du003ernrnLeft back.

She showed well in her defensive qualities. She did well in positioning her body to cut out passes. She showed quick feet to poke the ball off the feet of the winger. With her pace, she is a weapon going forward. If she continues to improve as a passer with pace and accuracy, she will take her game to the next level.rnrnu003c!u002du002d /wp:paragraph u002du002du003e","_player_evaluations_2_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_3_player":["112104"],"_player_evaluations_3_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_3_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_3_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_3_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_3_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_3_evaluation":"u003c!u002du002d wp:paragraph u002du002du003ernrnRight wing.

She hits a great free kick. She can place the ball with back spin in the exact right spot. She has the quality to drive the shot too. In the run of play, she has good skill on the ball and uses all parts of her foot to manipulate the ball - her inside-out cut with the ball with her right-foot is a technically pretty advanced move and she regularly pulls it off cleanly. It does seem like she could be more aggressive in taking players on with the ball at her feet.rnrnu003c!u002du002d /wp:paragraph u002du002du003e","_player_evaluations_3_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations":4,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"edit","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-6435779c74112"} /--> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Talent ID Center Roster  - Florida - January 2023</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='21342' first='Mikaela' last='Arey'] (Florida Premier FC), McKenna Battilla (West Florida Flames), [player_tooltip player_id='112104' first='Myah' last='Bonnett'] (Orland City Soccer), Audrey Buck (Orlando City Soccer), [player_tooltip player_id='20926' first='Brooke' last='Bunton'] (United Soccer Alliance), Mia Conard (Team Boca), Carson Deligans (IMG Academy), [player_tooltip player_id='21163' first='Isabella' last='Duenas'] (Florida Elite Soccer Academy), [player_tooltip player_id='21422' first='Selena' last='Gaytan'] (Florida Kraze Krush), Adrianna Gonzalez (Team Boca), Dakota Harrell (FC Prime), Mary Hartofils (Team Boca), [player_tooltip player_id='21443' first='Stella' last='Jones'] (Jacksonville FC), [player_tooltip player_id='112076' first='Jordin' last='Lewis'] (Florida Premier FC), Emory Ludlam (Florida Premier FC), [player_tooltip player_id='112065' first='Chloe' last='Measel'] (FC Prime), Krystin Mesa (Tampa Bay United), [player_tooltip player_id='112042' first='Jasmyn' last='Mitchner'] (Tampa Bay United), [player_tooltip player_id='21288' first='Lily' last='Morse'] (Jacksonville FC), Reese Oldfield (Alabama FC), [player_tooltip player_id='125056' first='Alyssa' last='Parsons'] (Orlando City Soccer), [player_tooltip player_id='125557' first='Sadie' last='Peterson'] (IMG Academy), Torrey Polk (Alabama FC), [player_tooltip player_id='21448' first='Sydney' last='Schmidt'] (Jacksonville FC), Kayden Sheats (Alabama FC), [player_tooltip player_id='21172' first='Ivoryele' last='Smalls'] (Tampa Bay United SC), [player_tooltip player_id='21151' first='Hailey' last='Smith'] (Florida Elite), [player_tooltip player_id='125492' first='Ashley' last='Smith'] (IMG Academy), [player_tooltip player_id='125491' first='Georgia' last='Steinbach'] (IMG Academy), Alexa Strickler (FC Prime), [player_tooltip player_id='112114' first='Kyra' last='Swart'] (Florida Elite), [player_tooltip player_id='20954' first='Adelina' last='Torres-Rava'] (Florida Kraze Krush)</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
