The 16-year-old has been in stellar form for the Academy’s U-17 side in 2022, including leading the team to the semifinals of the Generation adidas Cup back in April. He also recently made his professional debut, coming on as a second-half substitute in Inter Miami CF II’s MLS NEXT Pro road game against Columbus Crew 2 on January 9.
