“Jaxon Sorenson is a great player who played multiple positions against us, hit in the middle of the lineup and hit with power. What sets him apart is that he lived up to the high expectations he had going into this season as a Division 1 recruit. The extra pressure on him only adds to how impressed I am with how he handled it.”
