WHAT COACHES SAY: “John has a professional frame for a goalkeeer … Big wingspan, pretty explosive athletically … Multi-sport athlete until he got to college. Good hand-eye. Strong. Physically a professional frame. Good kicking game. Distribution good, both with throws and with his feet … He’s exceptional in terms of balls in the air. Good organizer and sees the game well … He’s more of your prototypical big organizer goalkeeper. Anything in his range is his. Big presence … He has a good chance to make a roster if he has opportunity to work his way in … Has to work on close reaction saves because he’s big guy and takes time to get down. But he has it in him to make the close reaction save to turn around a game … He can be more consistent … What impressed me about him was his presence and leadership. Kept calm with young guys in front of him.”
