Emerging defender with all the tools to move on to higher levels. Big mobile defenseman who understands his position and uses his size and skill to make plays. Is one of the better players on a team that is in a learning process to success, and at a young age has been looked upon to calm the storm. He plays a strong effective game without attempting to do the work others haven't. Has mobility and can provide transitional quick strike with his tape to tape passes on the long counter. He uses his size to disturb the attackers cycle, shows excellent gap closure as the attackers are about to enter his zone, and will them out too. Outstanding smarts passing abilities and defensive prowess. A player to watch.
