Coach's Overall Comments:
Has the ability and foundation to get better. Good attitude and blue collar type of defender. Works very hard. Very good in the air and closes down quickly. Tough to beat 1v1. Technically, needs more work to clean passes especially longer range. Worth a look right now at USL D2 level.
