About Colton
Expert Analysis
River David | Prep Soccer Scout
Colton Swan is a very exciting prospect and could very well turn into a top prospect in two positions.
While Swan is a proven forward and target man, I believe he could also develop into an attacking midfielder. The attacking midfielder role is one that is about spacing, timing and vision. Swan has all of those intangibles but also has the scoring prowess of a forward. He’s not afraid to have to make decisions with the ball at his feet and seems to enjoy the challenge of getting out of tight situations.
As a forward it’s become very clear that Colton Swan is a very good option for any team trying to boost their attack. As the golden boot winner for the U16 tournament, he’s shown everyone that he’s reliable and clinical in front of net. His diversity of talent gives him a great opportunity to fit into various different systems at the next level and become a key piece for a team as he develops.
River’s Three Traits to Consider:Clinical: Swan is a fantastic poacher in front of net but can also make and produce his own opportunities. He doesn’t shy away from 50/50 balls and like the challenge of evading the defense. He’s a true born attacker.Utility: Swan has the ability to fit into various positions in the offensive scheme. He can play up top, outside or in the middle and do so with a high level of efficacy. I think long term he may find himself playing in the midfield but as he grows into a more mature player I’m sure he would be great in any position.rnTeam-Oriented: While Swan had led his team this year with 34 goals, he also has managed to pick up another 14 assist. While this feat sounds astonishing in print, seeing it happen in person really emphasizes it. Swan was not shy in the fact that he liked to pass the ball and share it with him teammates. During the games I was able to catch he was distributing the ball just as much as he was receiving it. rn
