Christian McLaughlin

What Scouts Say: "Pretty good, physical… Technical player. Can use both feet ... Don't know if he has grit to play outside back, but definitely an outside player ... Remember him being quick. Had a little burst to him, but not too pacy ... Not sure where he'd be good enough to play in MLS. One of those players without a position ... Can perhaps play defensive midfield. Drops deep and gets the ball, but he's not your not consummate holding midifielder like a Ricardo Clark ... Solid USL or NASL player but MLS may be a bit out of reach."

Four-year starter at James Madison.
