Beyond just looking the part physically, Struznik is a midfield athlete who has proved to do a plethora of things at a well-above-average level. He provided a scoring punch by posting two goals in a win over the Gators, stretching defenses with his outside shot and hard downhill dodging. He dodged with purpose as much as any other ’28 middie at the event and was a threat every time he had the ball, but also did the little things well and was impactful in the middle of the field. Additionally, Struznik did an excellent job without the ball to set up his scoring opportunities. I’d buy his stock now, as he has exceptional upside.

A tough, hard-nosed midfielder from one of Texas’ premier programs, Jake plays with intensity and confidence every time he steps on the field. He’s a strong dodger who attacks the middle with purpose, using his physicality to create opportunities for himself and his teammates. Jake also has the vision and poise to distribute when defenses collapse, making him a reliable playmaker in multiple situations. Competing for Highland Park, one of the state’s most storied programs, he’s poised for a breakout year as his role expands. A product of the Texas Nationals, Jake brings a mix of toughness, skill, and drive that makes him a key piece in any lineup.
