Strengths

Watch points
- Game time. Only 38.9% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
- Level. Rates below a nailed-on top-tier starter on our model.
Outlook
With a Rating of 28.5, Okello carries the 16th-highest potential of the central midfielders in the USL Championship of 65 — though on just 14 appearances this season, so the standing rests on a small sample.

In the prime window — at or near peak market value, so the next two seasons are the ones to cash in or build around.
