After a two-year hiatus, Major League Soccer announced its Generation Adidas Rising XI list on Thursday. The list highlights youth players who are on the cusp of becoming big-time stars within the league. Past editions of the Rising XI included top international names like Gio Reyna, Weston McKinnie, and Brenden Aaronson.
Amongst the list of potential-filled prospects were two names Revolution fans are familiar with as midfielders Noel Buck and Esmir Bajraktarevic were named to the Rising XI.
Buck has been with the Revolution since joining the Academy at 12-years-old. After an impressive start with Revolution II in 2021, Buck signed his first professional contract with Revolution II in June 2021.
