Ethel Jacobs

After overcoming a childhood spent fleeing from stray dogs in the mountains, this American center-back turned that frantic survival instinct into explosive pace and aggressive defensive dominance. She commands the pitch with a towering physicality that makes her elite in the air and at intercepting plays, even if her standing tackling remains a work in progress. Humble to the core, she is an relentless powerhouse who stops at nothing to protect her goal.
