Erwin has so much potential that no one even knows what his natural position is. When you’re able to do as many things as Erwin can with and without the ball, it’s tough to nail down his best spot on the field. After watching him last season and this past summer, I think he might be best utilized as a transition midfielder who stays on for early offense. His club team uses him everywhere, but the most telling thing is that he is almost always on the field when the game is on the line. Just his ability to turn a loose ball into a game-winning goal makes him all but indispensable in clutch situations. He’s going to get some serious looks here as October approaches.

Atticus Erwin, a three-sport athlete, is a player I would bet on. He is a legitimate two-way midfielder who makes an impact all over the field. On defense, he has the agility and quickness to put the clamps on dodgers. He is also a one-man clear and looks very natural in transition, where he beats defenders to space and slips away from double teams. In settled offense, he shows that same shake to create separation, along with the instincts to get off quality left-handed shots. Any college that is interested in him also has to like the idea of landing him and his twin brother, Archer, as a package deal given the chemistry they show on offense.
