Ivan Andabak, center-midfielder (#8) from Solin, Croatia
Ivan Andabak is a fantastic student with great character and work ethics – a true team player. I've seen play in person and was able to keep up (technically and speed wise) with our Dinamo Zagreb team (surrounded by 10 national team players).
He plays best as an #8, a lightweight box-to-box MF with an engine that will connect the lines of a team. He is a very intelligent player that will thrive in a possession oriented game. He can also play as a #6 (which he does in some portion of the video), a holding midfielder, but his best qualities will come out when paired with another midfielder in the center of the pitch (in a 4-2-3-1 or 4-4-2).
I am sure that will adding muscle to his frame will only further enhance his qualities and have him grow even more as a player.
Ivan is a senior in HS (gimnazija, the hardest school in Croatia) from a youth academy of Solin (a traditionally 2nd division, professional club) that is looking to start his studies in fall of 2016 and is looking for a scholarship to start his pursuit of an academic degree in business.

We know Ivan personally and have also seen him play in training and a friendly match. Considering our past candidates that have done really well in the college game, I would definitely recommend him as a student-athlete in collegiate soccer. I believe that with his academic qualities, a mix of academic and athletic scholarships will be a very good investment in your program and to support his studies.
