What Scouts Say: "Effective forward. He can score and showed it at Notre Dame ... Similar to LA's Robbie Keane with his runs ... Powerful, quick runner. Definitely an MLS player ... He's driven with his runs and gets himself in good spots ... On the field he can run hard at you with the ball, he's two-footed and scores with both feet ... A great finisher and has a nose for the goal. A poacher who can find holes … Rides the offside line and is difficult to deal with ... No one in college runs off the shoulder of the last defender better. Times his runs so well ...The Ruud Van Nistelrooy of college soccer ... Very quick when he gets the ball and goes forward. Quick in transition ... Always at the right place at the right time ... Can make up something out of nothing, just getting on the end of things ..." READ MORE

Drew Beckie

What Scouts Say: “Athletic right back who can also be a centerback in MLS … Played multiple spots in 2011 and didn’t really fulfill any of them ... Centerback for 2.5 years but best as a right back because he's so athletic. Proved it in 2012 ... One of the best athletes you’ll see. Exceptional … He’s still learning when to go, when to stay. Toward end of 2012, he really started getting a groove … Exceptional in the air … At the next level he may be used as a centerback because it’s a little more simple … Played centerback for U23 Canadian Olympic team ... Technique is very good but has some trouble making decisions with ball at his feet … Grown up in his senior year ... Canadian citizen, but has a U.S. green card.” READ MORE
