St. Benedict’s (NJ) junior middle fielder Ransford Gyan has been named the Gatorade National Boys Soccer Player of the Year for the 2022-23 season.<\/p>\n

Gyan scored 20 goals total (including in 16 of his team’s 17 games) and added 14 assists, helping lead the Gray Bees to a 17-0 record and a Non-Public Prep A state championship.<\/p>\n

J.R. Eskilson at PrepSoccer.com<\/a> calls Gyan a brilliant attacker:<\/p>\n

“With a dynamic burst and an unreal ability to keep the ball glued to his feet even while surrounded by defenders, he proved nearly uncontainable in leading his team to a perfect season. His humility enabled him to take his game to another level as a junior. A brilliant attacking talent, he\u2019s already staked a claim as one of the most dangerous offensive players in high school soccer in recent memory.”<\/p>\n

Off the field, Gyan has volunteered at a local food pantry and worked as a camp counselor and youth soccer coach while earning a 3.64 GPA.<\/p>\n

Heading into his senior year, Prep Soccer has Gyan ranked as the No. 12 national prospect in the class of 2024.<\/p>\n

Ransford, who is from Ghana, has not seen his family in over a year while competing in the U.S. He was surprised with the news while on a Zoom call with his mother, and his teammates and coaches showed up with the trophy at school.<\/p>\n
