Avery Oitomen is the youngest player in US Rugby, and he's DOMINATING || Remember the Name Series

Follow Major League Rugby - / @usmlr
very Oitomen is one of the best speedsters that we have ever seen at such a young age. He played for the Toronto Arrows this year after playing Hockey in his early career. At just 19 years of age, he is the youngest player to play in the league this year.
He discovered the sport after watching a Bryan Habana video on KZbin and it's history from there. He certainly has a bright future ahead as he is moving to the UK to continue his education at Cardiff Met University.
He will be turning heads in that team for sure.

You’d expect more positive comments from the sport that is about respect. So much negativity it’s boring. The guys got talent simple

[@icarusmaximus2790]

indeed, best for him would be to transfer overseas and let him develop to his full potential

[@lewishelme7724]

Icarus Maximus it sounds stupid but it annoys me when people are negative full stop. No need for it. Regardless of opposition he’s clearly a cracking player

[@samisonitupou6377]

Fully agree mate. I don't know what inspires these mongs to bash this kid

[@fermoylewizard2571]

Ya I think he just needs more time to develop that’s all

[@RealNzlord]

Where do I sign to play over there?looks like our 6th division teams

[@samisonitupou6377]

Yo bro its the MLR in USA. You'll probably be the best player there if you went aye

[@Tom-eq7eh]

Hope he comes back to the MLR after spending a few years in the UK, the league needs more players like him who can show up each night and pull off great plays.

Btw, oitmen isnt in us rugby, he plays in and for canada.

[@jaywkl7]

Dang guys, cut him some slack. He’s still learning, he still has time to improve and go to another league

[@samisonitupou6377]

Why is everyone putting this guy down? Remember this is in America you ball bags. Of course the quality won't be as good as Super Rugby or in the Aviva Prem and all that. Kid is still young and he has a lot of years to improve.

[@UNCLEBILLYTEE]

I think the title makes it worse, highlighting dominating. His competition is average at best. Not saying kid doesn't have skill, but come play new Zealand or Australian schools and he doesn't look as good

[@samisonitupou6377]

@@UNCLEBILLYTEE Yea bro the competition will be average cause its in USA. Its just started out my bro so of course it won't be good quality. Bring him to NZ and yea he might not be as good. But tbh I reckon the coaching he'll recieve in NZ could make him a way better player tbh.

[@UNCLEBILLYTEE]

@@samisonitupou6377 yeh bro, coaching and competition is everything. Would be cool to see a couple young American kids get a scholarship at some major schools and see them develop

Hate to be that guy but he looks... average at best, feel like I’ve seen players do the same stuff on the English school circuit

he can run a sub 11 sec 100m he's anything but average athletically .

[@ashitaka9327]

@@aaronthom97 athletic ability only gets you so far, I was talking about his technical skill, plus there are plenty of physical freaks even at school level. I had two people on my team that ran around 11s for 100m at 18

[@aaronkeane2336]

The fact that he's playing for Canada/Toronto in every clip makes it a bit obvious no?

[@cocol8986]

NZ high school players would smash this kid. No hate. NZ is just that next level, different breed of players. Probably the hardest place to learn your trade. Bring him down. He could learn a lot. But he would most likely just be a moving tackle bag.

[@icarusmaximus2790]

really depends on how fast he learns and adapts

[@kwademayne]

He Needs to face Quality opposition like All Blacks he won’t do so well...but Good on him for doing what he is doing 👍🏿

You should do a remember the name on William Percillier. Canadian star

Here in Fiji that's average 🤷

[@UNCLEBILLYTEE]

Below average brother

[@benmarshall5132]

He's Canadian though. Takes like 2 seconds to do that research, shouldn't be too hard to put in the title.

Ben Marshall he’s playing in the MLR which is mainly the US. Not a mistake.

It's easy to look good playing in schoolboy leagues. He's still got a long way to go, but good luck to him.

No better than a National 2 South winger. The defences he is competing against suck.

Not exactly the most competitive of leagues
