PA
, Midfielder, PA Classics Academy
Brown rejoined PA Classics earlier this year after a couple seasons with the Philadelphia Union Academy and it’s hard to imagine he isn’t at or near the top of lists for attacking midfielders for college coaches. Brown didn’t always get a chance to showcase his full abilities playing in a Union system that rewards pressure and ball-winning more than possession and passing ability but that’s exactly the type of player Brown is. He’s a player who can solve problems, create space where there appears to be none, set teammates up for easy tap-ins and do what you want a traditional No. 10 to do, make plays.
Daniel Krueger

Krueger
D
PA
, Defender, Philadelphia Union Academy
While he will have a chance to prove himself at Union II in the next season or two, Krueger for me is one of the top college prospects in the Union system right now because of how well he is playing. That could translate into him choosing not to go the college route at all but for now he should be garnering a lot of interest for college coaches looking for a center back who has the size to play there in college and is good enough on the ball to build from the back. He’s also been contributing more in the offense, scoring a goal recently in a friendly against a U19 team from Israel.
Dean Yao

, Midfielder, FC Delco
Yao can play pretty much anywhere in the middle of the field and is the type of player who is impossible to miss. He’s strong and clever on the ball, is a good passer and can score while also having the range and desire to track back into defense. He’s almost always involved in the build-up to the attack and is good winning the ball back in transition, absorbing pressure and dribbling out of pressure.
Devon Decorte

, Midfielder, Philadelphia Union Academy
Decorte is a workhorse for a Union team that requires a ton of players, but can also do a lot of damage offensively if given the chance in transition. College coaches should love his physicality and bravery; there isn’t a challenge Decorte is going to shy away from and little seems to phase him.
Connor Cresswell

, Goalkeeper, FC Delco/Haverford School
Cresswell excelled at Haverford School as a sophomore in the spring and is one of a couple of strong 2024 keepers at FC Delco (Gavin Missimmi being the other). His quickness off his line, skill with his feet and IQ along with his work ethic and approach to leading from the back line make him a top keeper in this class.
