3 QUESTIONS FOR FAROUZ

Stannard on Farouz: "Joseph might be one of the most under-the-radar players in the country. He was a top player at the MLS Next academy level, including opportunities with the Egyptian youth national teams. He had professional opportunities in Europe but decided to commit to Yale and has been in a professional environment with Houston Dynamo 2, as well as their U20 team. He is capable of playing as a central striker or winger and has a fantastic mentality to press and counter-press with great fitness and work rate. This mentality and work ethic helps create opportunities, and he has the ability to be clinical around the goal."
