Kemar Lawrence is one of the busier members of the New York Red Bulls current squad. His arrival at RBNY in 2015 coincided with a breakout performance for his national team, Jamaica, at Copa America. At 22, after spending the summer of 2015 making himself essential to RBNY and Jamaica, he could reasonably be regarded as one of the top left backs in MLS and CONCACAF.
With that recognition came the pressure of being an every-game starter for club and country. In 2016, that pressure seemed to manifest in the form of injuries that cost him time on the field for both RBNY and the Reggae Boyz.
