Expert Analysis
Guilherme Torres | Prep Soccer Scout
Traub is the top-ranked midfielder in the Rankings and appears inside the top five overall, in fourth place. She’s a standout for Plano West and one of the best players in the incredibly strong FC Dallas U19 team that competes in the ECNL league. Usually deployed in front of the team’s backline, she makes a tremendous impact in the game with her superior quality. Traub wears the team’s No. 10 jersey, and that’s because she operates as such, even if from a deeper region of the field. Her passing is always intelligent and decisive, and few are the matches in which she doesn’t get involved in the team’s scoring efforts. Even though FC Dallas heavily dominates possession in their matches, she’s ready to do the defensive work when needed, using her ability to read plays and cover ground to make stops.

A well-known face and vastly recognized as one of the top midfielders in the state, Traub will continue with FC Dallas ECNL 07.

Another FC Dallas midfielder on the Prep Soccer radar, Traub is the backing force in the middle of the park for this tough Texas side. She is going to be a key cog in the upcoming quarterfinal, looking to both spring the potent FC Dallas attack as well as be the spearhead to shut down a Beach FC (CA) squad that put up 19 goals in Seattle. This do all midfielder will be regularly called upon, so look for another quality performance from her.

Read EvaluationGuilherme Torres | Prep Soccer Scout
Traub helped FC Dallas 07 finish second in the Texas Conference with an excellent campaign of 14 wins and one loss and will play with them in the Champions League this week. Operating as a defensive midfield, she’s excellent on both sides of the ball and is the player her teammates look to get the ball whenever they are in trouble. Although not very physical, Traub is incredibly productive defensively because of how well she reads the game and gets into the right spot to win possession. When she has the ball, she distributes it with tremendous intelligence, always connecting good passes and immediately moving to offer her teammate the option to give the ball back to her in the final third.

Read EvaluationJR Eskilson | Prep Soccer Scout
Traub is listed as the No. 2 midfielder in the state, but she is clearly the No. 1 defensive midfielder for this class – arguably in the country. Traub has been a standout for FC Dallas for some time and would probably be a top prospect in the 2025 class too based on her play in the 07 age group. She’s a relentless defender, accurate passer, and smart player. She is always in the right position. She wins possession of the ball, and then keeps possession for her team. She’s quick and sharp with her movement. Traub has the qualities to suggest she will be a star at the next level in her role.
