About

My passion is the beautiful game. I express that passion via my competitiveness, creativity, and brotherhood. In other words, I love to compete with and against the best, I enjoy creating opportunities for others and myself, and I love my teammates. My technical ability on the ball, touch, passing, speed of play, creativity, and finishing are a part of what makes me special. In addition to the aforementioned attributes, I bring versatility to any team, and I have experience playing all attacking positions (Left Wing, Center Forward, Center Attacking Midfielder, 2nd Striker), all midfield positions (CAM, CM, CDM). For the 2023/2024 season I have agreed to terms with Real Salt Lake and will play for their U17 academy team (Left Wing and Center Attacking Midfielder) For 2022/2023 season I played 15 league matches for Atlanta United FC Academy team. I finished with Atlanta United totaling 4 goals, 5 assists, and participated in 3 Penalty shootouts, going 3 for 3, 100% on PKs. I then transferred to FC Cincinnati Academy to finish the 2022/2023 season. For FC Cincinnati I played in Generation Adidas Cup ( 5 matches, 1 goal, 2 assists); MLS Next Flex ( 3 Matches, 2 goals, 1 assist) and MLS Next Flex Playoffs/Showcase. I played all attacking positions including the Left Wing/Forward, Center Forward, Attacking Midfielder, and Holding Midfielder. I have played in 3-4-3, 4-3-3, 4-2-1-2-1, 3-5-2, and 4-4-2 formations. For my Lanier Soccer Association MLS Next U14 side during the 2021/2022 season, I was asked to control the midfield, initiate our attack, create opportunities via beating teams 1v1 and 1v2 drawing defense to me and playing balls to our striker, wingers, and making forward runs into the box. I thrive playing behind an active striker and wingers who can run in behind. I play well in both tight spaces and in open space. On the wings I cut in for scoring opportunities or stay wide to service the box with accurate crosses... Favorite Players: Neymar, Ronaldinho, Paul Pogba, Marcus Rashford, Vinicius Jr, Mbappe, Tammy Abraham, Bruno Fernandes, Wilfred Zaha, Zlatan Ibrahimovic, Emmanuel Adebayor, Yannick Bolasie
