Explosive, attack-minded outside midfielder who can make plays from either flank.
What Scouts Say: "Real good servant for Colgate and had a good 4-year career ... He's naturally made the wide midifeld position his own ... When he gets the ball out on the fiank, you're worried ... You can't teach what he has ... Right-footed, but has mobility to play both sides. Enjoys playing on left and drifting inside although likely not his position in MLS ... Has the ability to come down the flank ... He causes problems and has some speed ... Curious to see how his speed translates ... His service is a little bit inconsistent, but he has those moments that he can do something a little bit special ... Really good work ethic ... When he gets isolated on the flanks he can be more successful than not at beating people off the dribble ... Has pace off the dribble to play wide ... His final ball is inconsistent but he scored several goals from out wide ... If he plays in MLS, it's because they want him to stay wide and whip in crosses ... Defensively he's honest ... Tight spaces are more problematic for him, but he has something special when isolated 1-v-1 out wide."
