Top has scored 17 goals in 15 games for the U15/16 FC Dallas Juniors, the top goals per game average of any player in the Academy. He has helped his team to a 12-2-2 overall record in the process, the best record in the Texas Division.

Mullins, one of the older players in the camp born in 1992, earned an early admission to the University of Maryland and joined the Terrapins program this spring.

Top, a midfielder, will replace an Andrew Craven for the training camp while Mullins, a defender, will replace Scott Thomsen. Head coach Mike Matkovich has led 24 players into the training camp that began Sunday and will wrap May 2. The team will train twice daily and compete against local club teams during the week. The U18s will also attend the Los Angeles Galaxy match against the Philadelphia Union on May 1.
