Career Summary
COACHES' BREAKDOWN: "Attacking RB in MLS. Good pace and can create opportunities going forward. Upside, and has gotten better. He stands out no matter the opponent. Good defender, was able to switch to CB this year and was solid. Good 1-v-1 defender, and has the speed to cover. Needs to make better decisions in the final third, needs to have more purpose on his crosses. Could get to the endline more, and sometimes puts in the cross too early. Was a forward as a kid, and has some offensive moves to take guys on 1-v-1 on the run. Can get out of pressure. Could benefit from some time in USL, but just needs to get his foot in the door and can prove himself... Not technical enough. Athletic but not technical enough ... His service is not there ... Played right back until last half of this season ... Filled in at centerback this year ... He's got a lot of pace. Very good going forward. Would take players on. Creates problems for opposition. ... Got a forward's mentality ... Likes to run at people and will unbalance people ... Athletic enough and nice-looking athlete but over a longer stretch of time he's an ordinary player in a good body."
