Expert Analysis
JR Eskilson | Prep Soccer Scout
Ryan is a forward on the NVA 08 ECNL team. She is capable of playing any number of roles through the center of the field (No. 8, No. 10, or No. 9), but I’ve seen her mainly in a No. 9 recently and I think that might be her future spot too. She wears the captain’s armband for her club team. She is a hardworking player who is very coachable. Ryan shines in that regard. She is tasked with leading her squad with the first line of pressure and she sets the tone from that responsbility. She is good in the press and does well in cutting off options. She has the physical frame to be a center forward at the top level of college soccer. Given her positional versatility, she is still adjusting to some of the nuances of the position and some of her runs off the ball in that role can be lack a bit of the conviction usually needed to create separation against top center backs. When Ryan is on the ball, she is strong and can hold off defenders. When she faces goal, she can rip a shot from 30 yards out so defenders need to step to her to close off space. Her vision really shines in those situations as she is an exceptional passer for the position. Ryan is a name to know from this group as she could have among the highest ceilings from this class.
