Many American players delay their entry into the professional game by pursuing college. This leads to quite a few late-blooming talents, fulfilling potential at a later age than many other nations’ structures would allow. Brian White recently completed a breakout season, scoring 12 goals and leading the Vancouver Whitecaps to the Major League Soccer playoffs. With December’s domestic camp on the horizon, the 25-year-old striker could receive a call-up.
Born in Flemington, New Jersey, White grew up playing for Hunterdon Central High School and the dominant Players Development Academy. His goal and assist in the final helped claim the 2014 Development Academy National Championship.
