 Coach Freeman’s Comment: “J.P. is a steady left-footed player that can play in the back or midfield. He is an all-around good soccer player, who played primarily at left back at Valparaiso, but may find minutes in the midfield for the Eagles. He will be needed as a left back or holding center mid.”
