When it comes to left-handed attackmen in the 2028 class, Cole Sovie is a name to know. A recent transfer to IMG Academy after putting up 61 goals and 33 assists as a freshman at Charlotte Catholic, his blend of speed, size, dodging, and scoring ability is as good as it gets. As a dodger, he’s a chameleon. He knows when to lean on his straight-line speed and blast off to free his hands, but he’s just as comfortable slowing things down with stop-and-go dodges. Help has to be ready the moment the ball is in his stick, and when he mixes in hesitation moves, slide timing gets thrown off completely. If defenses do slide, he’ll punish them by finding open teammates. What really puts Sovie over the top is his shooting deception. He throws goalies off with a variety of releases, but his ability to yank the ball high with his underhand and sidearm, both on the run and with his feet set, is impressive. Without the ball, he creates scoring chances by moving well and finishing in multiple ways. It’ll be interesting to see how Sovie fits into the IMG offense moving forward.

A 6’2” left-handed goal scorer, Sovie brings length, fluidity, and natural scoring instincts to the IMG offense. Lean and deceptively slippery, he consistently finds soft spots in the defense and attacks with precision, often coming over the top to unleash his accurate lefty shot. His ability to finish from multiple angles makes him a constant scoring threat, whether dodging downhill or catching and releasing in tight. Sovie’s smooth movement and knack for timing cuts make him a reliable offensive weapon for his team. He’s the type of attackman who can quietly take over a game with his composure, efficiency, and lefty finishing touch.
