Career Summary
Playmaker who trained with Liga MX's Xolos Tijuana after being snubbed by the MLS Player Combine.
What Scouts Say: "Big-time talent ... Out of high school (he was US youth national team as a youth) the talk about him was that he was going to every club in the world ... One of those little playmaking guys who can also play wide ... Really good feet ... Struggled to impact the game and only played 45 minutes a game ... Made you wonder: Was it fitness? Should be a 70-minute guy ... Very, very good feet. Very talented ... Great vision ... Fitness, work rate and athleticism go against him ... Will play attacking midfielder, underneath forward or out wide ... Great feet, good soccer IQ, good quickness ... Durability questions ... He's a one-way guy ... Played in the hole as the guy who did not defend ... Luxury player for San Diego State ... Potentially one of those guys that does well when things going well and not as well when things are not ... He's a tweener ... Works more on both sides of the ball and he's better in front of goal finding passing seams ... The game has to find him. He doesn't find the game ... Once he has it, he does good things ... Excellent until he went to college ... He's good, but he didn't want any pressure on him ... He didn't want the game to be fast."
