WHAT COACHES SAY: "Centerback that is very good in the air. Very tough ... Good feet. Can play out of the back. He started his career at Cal State-LA and then looked to transfer ... I like him a lot. He's a more complete player athletically than other centerback candidates ... He's tougher, quicker and has a better chance to make it in MLS."
