How this tall, athletic, and extraordinarily skilled two-way midfielder remains available is a complete mystery. One item that pops immediately about Grace’s skill set is his ability to scoop up a ground ball or receive an outlet pass and then turn on the jets to create a transition scoring chance. Grace’s incredible separation speed combined with his polished stick skills allow him to carry the ball deep into the offensive end for a goal or an assist. College coaches should appreciate Grace’s ability to run through significant contact as well as his smart decision-making on the fast break. In 6v6 action, Grace can explode past his defender and then use his long strides to race down the alley for a shot on the run. Grace also has a knack for getting down the alley and then dropping a dime to an open teammate on the back post for an easy goal. This available senior owns an incredible two-handed skill set, which makes him impossible to defend in open space. When Grace hustles back on defense, his smooth lateral footwork and aggressive style make him a tenacious on-ball presence.

Grace is a long, athletic, and fleet-footed midfielder. Combine those assets with his stick skills and high IQ, and you get a prospect with tremendous upside. Grace is a true two-way midfielder. He excels at scooping up GBs or receiving an outlet pass and then pushing transition opportunities. In 6v6 action, Grace uses his long strides to get downhill in a flash and then shoot or distribute on the run. His ability to dodge going left or right and then shoot/finish with either hand makes Grace difficult to defend 1v1. Grace is also a standout on the basketball court. Those hoops skills are especially obvious when Grace drops back to play SSDM. At short-stick, Grace does a fantastic job using his lateral quickness to keep ball carriers in front of him. With his long wingspan and aggressive stick, Grace is a groundball machine, too.
