Mahler's Take
"Throughout Kevin's high school and club careers, he has been effective at every position. His technical ability is equally matched by his physical strength and competitiveness. He is composed on the ball and shows good defensive instincts. With time and experience, I expect Kevin to accelerate the learning curve to the point where he is a major contributor to our overall success sooner than later."
