What Scouts Say: "Former member of the D.C. United youth academy ... Might be worth an opportunity because he has the athletic gifts that you can't teach ... He has a big body and can be a handful ... Pretty good around the goal, but took a while to score in 2012 ... Not a worker and not great with his back to goal ... Looks like he has the physical tools, but it doesn't all add up ... Speed of play is poor ... Don't think he's a threat at scoring goals ... Just a big player ... Had few accolades and yet he was an attacking player. "
