Minnesota high school blue liner with smarts, vision, and plenty of mobility. No wasted movement and a terriifc short area game in his end. Will not stand out as having elute charactersitsic but simply gets the job done with good defensive zone positioning and stick placement. Plays aggressive inside the rules. There is really refined sound decisions and poise already in place.  He is a slick puck mover, who advances pucks quickly to the right options. Displays short area quickness and has a nice wall and corner game. Very mobile and poised and will pinch down or drop back door, but is not a gambler. he wants to play his position without leaving his team susceptible to odd-man breaks. and reads one coming rushes and zone entries  and easily angles opposing puck carriers to the outside. Committed to the University of Minnesota-Duluth, If his development continues, he may project as a four or five NHL defender.
