Coach Hopkins’ Take: “Noah brings an exceptional amount of experience to our team. It's not often you run into an almost 21-year-old freshman with the versatility to be deployed as a center back or holding midfielder. He has been a big part of OGC Nice his entire youth career playing at almost every level in France including an appearance in the UEFA Europa League. His passion for the game and dedication should help a young growing Aztecs group.”
