He can wheel it up the field during clears, and he'll make the right pass once he's near the box. Pavicich also doesn't get out of position on the defensive end, and he does a great job of keep tracking of his guy.

I've noticed that he constantly hounds his opponents and almost always has a good defensive stance going. McColl also looks to get open during clears and he's quick to get in the hole if the other team has a transition opportunity. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block -->

Although these guys are just freshman and sophomores, they are playing stout defense for their respective teams.
