“His ball control is immaculate, and his ability to beat a defender has made many good players look very averageI have coached Antonio in club and high school soccer since he was 12. He has always been technically the best player in the state of Oregon for his age. His ball control is immaculate, and his ability to beat a defender has made many good players look very average! Bottom line is he is a game-changer, whether it is with a vital goal, assist, or a sublime piece of skill. I have seen him do it time-and-again up and down the west coast on a consistent basis. Antonio has he potential to play beyond college; and that's not an exaggeration! I also had the privilege of teaching Antonio. In the classroom, Antonio is very studious and diligent. He is a very intelligent young man and a vey solid citizen. I can honestly say that I have never heard a teacher, coach, or student say a negative about him. Antonio thoroughly deserves this prestigious award!”
