Brier was one of the best freshmen I saw this fall. I first caught him at NHSLS, and he continued his impressive fall/winter campaign with ADVNC NDP at Sandstorm this weekend. He has the size, creativity, and confidence you want to see early, and he can flat-out shoot the lights out. What stands out most for the freshman is how many different ways he can score.
At NHSLS, Brier fit right in with his Marin Catholic group, showing off his step-down game by hammering one top-right. He generates serious velocity with his shot, and there’s a subtle deception in his swing—he hides the ball through most of his windup, then snaps it with different release points. Add in the fact that he’s a legit threat on the run and can finish in tight by moving the goalie, and it’s easy to see the ceiling here. Brier already looks like a name to know in the ’29 class, and his game is only going to keep climbing as he gets older.
