Winger/Midfielder. Clean touch. Smooth player. Athletic profile, can do a bit of everything. More attack minded. Thought he struggled a bit when I saw him play as an attacking midfielder. He didn’t get on the ball as much as one would like from a top prospect. When he was playing on the wing, he was dynamic with good runs off the ball to create space. He’s capable of electric plays in the final third and a good finisher. Hallie’s shown the potential to be a top player in his age group at the national level.
