Soto put together one of the most impressive defensive seasons in the region. Averaging 3.4 steals per game, he constantly lived in passing lanes and created chaos for opposing offenses. His activity on and off the ball made him a turnover machine, highlighted by a 13-steal performance that helped secure Northeast’s first quadruple-double in school history. Soto’s ability to consistently generate extra possessions makes him a clear All-Defensive selection.

Soto carries breakout game potential. If Soto gets going offensively, he could be the key to Northeast pulling off an upset against St. Petersburg. His best performances this season have come when he shoots over 45% from the field. Pair that efficiency with his ability to force turnovers, and Soto becomes a two-way threat capable of swinging momentum.

His footwork and use of his pivot foot were on display, and his all-around skill set continues to stand out. Soto’s production this season, including a quadruple double, speaks to his ability to impact the game in multiple ways.
