About Aniston
Expert Analysis
Alejandro Guillen-Cerrato | Prep Soccer Scout
Aniston is a brilliant midfield talent with immense potential. The attribute on which all of her others build is her match awareness. Both her defensive and offensive awareness are spectacular, especially for a player so young. Typically, she plays as a defensive midfielder, which allows her to have more action during the match. Her defensive attributes are phenomenal, winning the ball thanks to her determination, intelligence, and strength. Any duel she goes into, she goes into it as the favorite to win it. However, even with all of that, I would say that the role that may suit her best is as a freer midfielder in a double pivot. Her skills and agility are dazzling. She gets past her markers almost as if they were just a slight inconvenience. Her passes are also perfect. She may not be the main chance creator playing so deep, but she is definitely a playmaker. She can dictate the tempo of her team comfortably with the ball at her feet.

Read EvaluationNikolai Littleton | Prep Soccer Scout
Top 10 talent out of Missouri is headed to Elon University in 2027. The Sporting Blue Valley Midfielder has excellent feet, great vision, and really good on the half turn offensively. Defensively Crabtree is an elite ball winner, and really embraces contact. The Phoenix have been on a tear recently unbeaten in their last 8 games and face Stony Brook in the CAA Championship this weekend with a trip to the NCAA Tournament on the line. Excellent fit.

Read EvaluationJR Eskilson | Prep Soccer Scout
Crabtree plays as the defensive midfielder for the Sporting Blue Valley 09 ECNL squad. She is one of the standouts from that team. She is a good passer and excellent defensively. Crabtree is pretty good on the dribble and can take on players through the center channel with his elusiveness and skill. She could improve on her field awareness as she can get caught in possession when she fails to check her shoulders before receiving the ball. Crabtree is able to navigate out of those situations usually with her skill and quick feet. She has high upside as a commanding presence in the center of the field from the defensive midfield position.
