He does a really good job using his angles to navigate to different spots in transition on the attack. His length allows him to cover ground at a fast pace. Afolabi has the ability to find scoring chances in a blink of an eye. He is a prospect who I think is about to have his coming out party as a player and get a lot more attention from college coaches in the next few months. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block -->
