Escobar's match data across 35 appearances tells the story of a high-impact replacement built around defensive reliability, averaging 7.5 tackles per game with single-match peaks of 18 — numbers that reflect consistent, pressure-moment contributions. His carrying load is modest but purposeful, bringing energy in short bursts rather than volume, with his best outings showing he can reach double figures when the game demands it. Five tries across this sample add a finishing dimension that prevents defenders from sitting off him entirely.
