For the last two years, we have begun this article with a simple statement, that fans were about to witness 5-Stripes history. That was true both times I wrote it with the Homegrown signings of seniors Machop Chol and Bryce Washington forging the college-back-to-Atlanta pipeline and continued with the Homegrown signing of Justin Garces and newly anointed national champion Charlie Asensio becoming the first-ever Atlanta United Academy product selected in the MLS Superdraft by Austin FC as the 35th overall selection. This year, there are quite a few more players, several of whom represent compelling Homegrown player options or Atlanta United 2 signings if they manage to evade being drafted by another club.
