Mark Fetrow on Lorenzo Avalos:
“Lorenzo is a natural born leader.  He is a gifted ball playing left sided CB who has the ability to break lines with his vision and technical ability.  He has an extremely high soccer IQ and competitive nature that will push our team to new heights.  We are excited to add Lorenzo’s winning mentality to our already strong culture.  He has been the captain of the San Jose Earthquakes MLS Next teams throughout his youth career and has earned opportunities to train with Quakes 2 (MLS Next Pro).  We are looking forward to continuing his development at Villanova University.”
