Great pickup for the Orange. Rawson has a really nice shooting stroke, he can fire it from distance with no wasted movement. I also really like his passing, he’s really adept at finding teammates on the crease with passes that look like shots. Definitely not just a “finisher” which a lot of Canadians get labeled as.

His high school midfield running mate Sawyer English was ranked as a top 50 recruit, while Rawson was not. That said, in their end of year write up on Lawrenceville, IL said Rawson was perhaps the teams best midfielder. Hard not to see him being a Power 100 recruit by the end of his senior season (if not more).

Also, nice to see them flip a player who had family connections at a rival (his brother Chuck goes to Hopkins). Additionally it’s great to get commitment from a Lawrenceville player, finally, after missing out on Kilrain. Hopefully it leads to more down the road!

With Hahn, Meyer, Pike and now Rawson, that’s a good offensive grouping for the class of ‘25. There could be some opportunities for early playing time when they show up (Birtwistle, English and Hiltz will be departing).  It seems like Rawson could be a guy to step in right away.

Lots of highlight videos for Rawson, here’s another more recent one:
