Expert Analysis
JR Eskilson | Prep Soccer Scout
LB – Peyton Saltijeral, Evolution 08 – Saltijeral is a left footed playmaker who happens to be an outstanding defender as well. She was named to the ECNL RL All-Conference team last season for her play with Evolution, one of the top teams in Illinois. Saltijeral has played some winger in the past and that playmaking ability shines at left back when she joins the attack. She creates off the dribble and does well with combination play – especially when setting up triangles with the winger and attacking midfielder. Defensively, she is a solid 1v1 defender. She stands up players and gets into the tackle. She will thrive in a program that lets the outside back attack.

Saltijeral is a defender on the Evolution SC 08 ECNL-RL team. She is five-foot-eight and left footed, which already makes a rare prospect from this class. Saltijeral can also play in an attacking role and she is a good finisher – especially when she is playing right wing and cuts inside onto her left. That said, her future is very likely at left back. Her combination of athleticism, skill, and drive makes her a terrific prospect for that role – and one of the top risers in the updated rankings for this class.
