Scout report

Project playerCentral defender

O. Verhoeven is a 20-year-old central defender at San Diego, rated 43.7 overall by Field Insider's model, ranking 79th of 436 on scout potential in the Major League Soccer and 280th of 653 U-21 players tracked. A young player, he has been a regular starter this season (68.8% of available minutes). His defensive output reads 2.56 tackles, blocks and interceptions per 90. Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Verhoeven.

Judged on this season alone, Verhoeven graded 30 — a workmanlike campaign that ranks 41st of 101 of the 101 centre-backs in the Major League Soccer, on 5 clean sheets and 2.56 defensive actions per 90.

Year-on-year, that's a clear step up on last season (Season 11 → 30). Across the 3 seasons we hold, it's his best return yet.

On long-term talent our Rating reads 44, top 14% of the 101 centre-backs in the Major League Soccer. At 20 Verhoeven is still climbing toward his ceiling, and a market index of 7.8 reflects that trajectory.

Clean sheets

2.56 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — moderate defensive volume, with 5 clean sheets across 19 appearances. Doing that for a lower-table side (11th of 15) is harder than the bare numbers suggest: a back line under more pressure has to defend more often and protects fewer leads, so the volume — and any clean sheets — carry real weight.

Strengths

  • Availability. On the pitch for 68.8% of available minutes — a dependable presence in the XI.

Watch points

  • Level. Rates below a nailed-on top-tier starter on our model.

Outlook

With a Rating of 43.7, Verhoeven carries the 14th-highest potential of the centre-backs in the Major League Soccer (top 14%), and he is posting that for a lower-table side (San Diego finished 11th of 15) — individual numbers are harder to earn on a struggling team, so his underlying level likely sits a touch above the ranking. Defensively he reads as moderate defensive volume (2.56 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). At 20 the trajectory points up — potential sits near its ceiling (98/100) and market value should climb as minutes and output follow.
