We watched Rob play at Under Armour and at the Father’s Day Invitational and were impressed.   He had not really been on our radar until this summer, so we asked PV head coach, Tom West, to tell us a little about him.

“Rob has been a back up attackmen for us for two years.  It’s been hard because he had some talented players in front of him.  He’s always worked hard and I knew he’d slide right in to that starting spot on the left for his senior season.  He did some great things for us in 2014 and I really saw him come to his own at under Armour tryouts.  All summer and at gait cup, he’s been a force.  He was instrumental in the team Florida upsets over the Alcatraz (California) and the Maryland looneys.   I’d imagined he’s going to get picked up fairly quickly.”
