Play style

The Major League Soccer scouts describe him as a player who is primarily to be deployed on the right wing. He is also described as athletic, of good height, as well as robust and with good physical attributes. Furthermore, his overview of the game and his precise crosses into the penalty area are praised, the latter being regarded as his great strength. It is also praised that he quickly picks up speed after winning the ball and pulls towards the goal. Furthermore, the 1.86 m offensive player is considered to be extremely dynamic and not easy to separate from the ball, especially due to his speed on the way to the goal line. The closure, as well as its internal routes, were criticized and described as expandable. Critics also criticized that he did not have the athleticism and speed of a winger. The tall player with broad shoulders and good acceleration is also considered spirited, but also a bit moody and volatile. His skills in 1-on-1 situations were rated differently; While some claim that he is safe in a 1-on-1 situation, he should be considered unsafe in front of the goal in such situations. Nevertheless, in these game situations he should be able to take on all college players in the country. It is also mentioned that he could not fully utilize his potential at college and that he was denied a long-term professional career.
