The center back prospect remains that, with all of three MLS minutes to his name. Handling the league’s physicality remains a big question, as he’s still listed as relatively slight of frame. He did excel with the U.S. U20, helping them qualify for this year’s World Cup. A big showing there could get him close to the first team, although like other young defenders on this list, it’s an uphill task to win over confidence of coaches, no matter the level of talent.
