This highly touted freshman started the season opener at attack against Hill School (PA) and posted two goals. Verner has not taken his foot off the gas since that first game, as he also notched two goals versus national powerhouse Lawrenceville (NJ). For a 2029 prospect, Verner has demonstrated elite shooting skills. He has uncorked powerful overhands as well as sidearm missiles from everywhere on the offensive end. Verner has also been a smooth operator in two-man game action. The pick-n-pop skills Verner has demonstrated are well beyond his years. Verner’s quick release made him difficult to close out on those set plays. In addition to his impressive shooting skills, Verner has proven to be a high IQ prospect who has delivered smart as well as timely passes.

Friday afternoon was one heck of a debut for this highly touted freshman who started at attack, scored the first goal of the 2026 season for SP, and posted two goals overall. His first goal was a sidearm missile that came off smooth pick-n-pop action on the right wing. On his second goal, Verner pinged the low far corner with a right-handed sidearm rip from 14 yards out. In addition to his impressive shooting skills, Verner delivered several smart and timely passes in this game. The upside of this 2029 prospect is ridiculous.
