Christopher Santana

COACHES' BREAKDOWN: "Nickname is Chino... Best attacking player on his team ... Skillful, good size, great athleticism. Fast. Two-footed. Great in the lockerroom; professional attitude. Very clean strike, very powerful. Good in training. Was injured and kind of lost his confidence. Was offered a contract at 18 by Chivas de Guadalajara, turned it down to go to school. Might be a better pro prospect than Cardenas. Injury prone ... Very similar to Velasquez. You can put on outside. Two best wingers in our conference. He's box to box. Runs, defends. Very serviceable. Not as good as Brad Evans. Good athlete. Can play on either side. Right-footed."
