What they’re saying:
"He can change a game at any moment. He’s a very good passer of the ball, he’s good on the dribble and he scores goals. He’s pretty dynamic in that sense."
— Nolan Sheldon, D.C. United U-18 coach
"This year he’s really grown into becoming a better two-way player. The academy coaches have been working with him so when the ball turns over, he transitions to defense. That’s something he’s done a very good job with this year."
— Dave Kasper, D.C. United General Manager
