<p class="text-gray-700">A player with elite vision, dazzling creativity and exceptional ball control. Coupled with his elite speed, he can threaten defenses both as a finisher and a creator on every possession. Furthermore,  he has a tool box full of technical and creative skills. Moreover, he is an ideal midfielder that can defend, build the offense and then orchestrate in the attacking third. Sticks give-and-go passes in the box into tight spaces; ideally paced and perfectly timed. Somehow always open, even as the other team was determined to mark him. Could step in at a Div. I program and contribute next year. </p>

<p class="text-gray-700">A wizard with his passes, he has the creativity and vision to make something happen every time he touches the ball. He even pulled off a nutmeg pass that set up a teammate with a high-danger scoring chance. Which provided a glimpse of his flair and confidence in tight spaces. Possessing breakaway speed and expert control at full stride. His pace stretches defenses, opening up running lanes for teammates and forcing opponents to stay on their heels. </p>

<p class="text-gray-700">Needed just three matches to become a dominant force. Suffered a broken ankle in Aug. 2025 and showed no I'll effects. Always joining the attack as a natural scorer. Therefore his will to score might be his strongest trait. Physical in front of the net and willing to scrap together a goal in any way possible. Because he has plus speed can beat defenders off the dribble and outmuscle them when needed. Recorded a brace in a 4-1 Class 5A playoff win. He will be a solid 9 at the Div. I, mid-major level.</p>

<p class="text-gray-700">An incredibly bright future for a midfielder whose mentality is to always attack. Proficient give-and-go passer who is always looking to advance the ball. Also, overlaps once he's made a pass, his above average speed lets him slip behind defenders and help build offensive shape. Fundamentally and technically sound, very poised under pressure. Additionally, he's always willing to play backward to switch the field and stretch opponents. With time to fill out his frame, could emerge as a Div. I talent. </p>

<p class="text-gray-700">A huge right leg that's powerful and accurate. Which sets up a wide variety of options on set pieces; restarts and corners. Because opponents never know if it will be a driven ball, a high spinner or something in between. Which makes his entry passes into the box always dangerous. There's more to his game as well. Even with his good size still has technical ball skills with the confidence to show off nifty footwork in the midfield. Lastly, spreads the ball around to open teammates well and pressures opponents with an attacking mentality.  </p>
