This three-sport athlete (also plays football and basketball) is a long, fast, and skilled midfielder who posted an outstanding summer. Included in Reger’s fantastic stretch of play during June and July was the IL Summer Cup, where he led 3D Upstate to a 5-0 record and was named the offensive MVP. He also was a standout performer at the New Balance All-America tournament and the NILLY Invitational. Reger can get downhill in a hurry, run through stick checks, and then finish overhand, with a sidearm crank or a BTB. With his speed and elusive moves, Reger blew past defenders this summer in transition as well as in 6 on 6 action. He frequently executed beautiful swim dodges to elude defenders and find open space. Reger’s field vision and unselfish nature produce a slew of Instagram worthy assists too. As a bonus to his offensive skills, Reger proved that when needed, he could work as a physical SSDM.

This dodge-heavy midfielder can hurt you in so many ways. He’s a high-level athlete with the speed to blow past most short sticks and the strength to initiate contact and control the matchup. What makes him even more dangerous is how deceptive he is—his ability to change posture mid-dodge and throw in quick hitches makes him a nightmare to defend in space and difficult to slide to. He loves to sweep across the top, and when he gets his hands free, it’s usually bad news for the defense. His athleticism, physicality, and dodging nuance makes him a midfielder you want to take note of.
