Coach's Overall Comments:
Physically strong and capable of paying with his back to goal. Defensively, he is willing to create and tackles hard. As a finisher, he scored a few tap in or rebound goals form being in the right spot. In the run of play, he was not able to free himself with varied runs enough. His touch let him down on balls he tried to lay off, though he read the plays well. His intensity was high and he showed good competitive instincts.
