Tyler Legacy Men’s Soccer Coach Martin Germany: Masters University is getting a quality player who can play multiple positions on the field. Hansen reads the game well and has a huge upside on the field as a player who started transitioning from being a goalkeeper to a field player a couple of years ago. He will continue to grow and progress as a player in the increasing competitive college environment. They will be getting a great leader as well!
Hansen will be the third Anderson to attend Masters and play soccer following his dad, Mark Anderson, and his brother, Price Anderson.

Esteban does a nice job of reading the flow of the game and putting himself in a good position to win the ball. Esteban will be a great addition to the Eagles program and should be able to compete at the collegiate level immediately.
