Cottbus's coach, Claus-Dieter Wollitz, expressed that Awortwie-Grant's skills in organization, positioning, and dueling capabilities align well with the team's playing philosophy. Maniyel Nergiz, the squad planner for Cottbus, remarked on Awortwie-Grant's significant contribution to one of the top defenses in the Regionalliga Südwest during his time at Stuttgarter Kickers. He emphasized Awortwie-Grant's presence and heading ability as part of the complete package that caught the club's attention.
