Defensemen John Bovill and Jose "Butters" Ochoa are two players you may not have heard of yet, but you should definitely watch out for them this year in men’s soccer. Most of the time, defensemen don't get enough credit for what they do, but they're really the backbone of the team. Besides the goalie, they keep the opposing team's forwards from having a chance to score. Both Bovill and Ochoa have worked very hard over the summer and are looking to have a big impact on the team this season.
