Lares is a left back with GFI U16 in the MLS Next League Homegrown Division. He is now listed at 15th place among the defenders and 39th overall in the state in the Rankings. Few outside backs in this age group make as much as Lares on both sides of the ball. He’s a relentless defender who plays hard and puts a lot of effort into his work off the ball, making things difficult for wingers and midfielders who step into his zone. Lares is very gifted offensively, too, being capable of making plays out wide or using his passing to operate more centrally, while also appearing inside or on the edge of the penalty box to finish chances.
