Cassius is one of the best left-back prospects I’ve seen at the high school level so far. He has the attributes that you look for in the modern full-back, with still a year left at this level. In attack, he always presents himself as a passing option. Not only does he present himself as an option, but he also generates many chances from the wing. His crossing is pinpoint, being the one in charge of taking long set pieces. Defensively, he’s just as impressive. Tactically and psychologically aware, he makes it a nightmare to get past him. He knows how to time tackles, never looking erratic when going in for the ball. Holding his position perfectly gives his team much-needed peace of mind.

Though he’s listed as a midfielder, Cassius is a very talented left-back. Playing on his natural profile since he’s left-footed, he plays very comfortably. When his team is defending, he regularly takes a more central role, helping the team become more narrow. However, wherever he defends he always goes in with determination and immense intelligence. He knows exactly when to choose to either retain the attacker out wide or lunge in for a clean tackle. Getting past him is no easy task for a winger, and even if they do they only do so for a very short period. He sticks onto the player he’s marking spectacularly. His passing is also fantastic, always looking for an intelligent pass. When he plays long balls, they’re always directed exactly to someone. His short passing always leads to the team moving forward. Also, his crossing is magnificent, constantly creating danger from wide.
