Trask on Akindele: “Andrew is a player who I’ve had the privilege to work with since the age of 5 in Chicago and has become one the top prospects in the country.  Andrew will add athleticism and quality to our attack and will be expected to challenge for playing time this coming fall.  Andrew is another top player from the Chicagoland area to join us here at Wisconsin.”
 
Tiemeyer on Akindele: “Andrew is a talented, physical striker.  He can cover ground, hold up play and finish opportunities.  The traits mean that he will be counted on immediately upon his arrival in Madison.  Andrew has a quality background having played in the Chicago Fire Academy program and has attended camps at UW.”
