[player_tooltip player_id='79185' first='Dalton' last='Bulowski'], Central Defender, 2006   Bulowski is a 2006 MLS Next player for Strikers, and is a very commanding center back, one who handles the position very well game in and game out. He is a very competitive player with a fire in his belly, making him an excellent field general. He is also very athletic and can do just about anything on the pitch. He's very good at a well-timed tackle, and also good with the ball, especially when showing off his passing range. He does things with ease as he looks effortless, and is a player who is not afraid of the big moments.   Mateos Carvahlo, Forward, 2007   Carvalho is a 2025 graduate who is committed to UC Santa Barbara. He is a wide forward that is always moving up the pitch. Think Luis Diaz. He has the ability to deliver a precision pass from the wing, but he is incredibly dangerous when it comes to scoring in a variety of ways. He times his runs as well as any young player you will see as he reads the line and the ball so well that he often finds himself in 1v1 situations. He also has great size and pace which makes him hard to handle for defenders.   [player_tooltip player_id='7840' first='Jason' last='Castro'], Defensive Midfielder, 2007   Castro also plays on the 2007 MLS Next team and is a bulldog of a No. 6. Because he does his job so well, he is massively underrated and under-appreciated. He does all the little things defensively as he is a master in doing the small stuff that nobody notices. Castro covers a ton of ground, and he's also not afraid to make a challenge, and he is going to win those challenges. He's very good in the air. If a team decides to press him when he's in possession, he will break it. He's hard to move off the ball when he's in possession.   [player_tooltip player_id='8675' first='Skylar' last='Kaplan'], Defender/Midfielder, 2007   Kaplan is a 2026 graduate who plays up on the 2007 MLS Next team and is a versatile player, who can play as a left back, a No. 4 in central defense or move up to the midfield and play as a No. 6. He has been playing up most of his life and this makes his game incredibly mature and he processes the game faster than most people his age. He has a left foot that can place the ball on a dime, and is an incredibly technical player with great ability. He loves the game as he is incredibly dedicated to it and has an analytical mind which leads to exponential mental growth.   Beckett Miller, Central Midfielder, 2007   Miller is the modern day center mid. He is very big, very athletic and incredibly dynamic. His work rate is great and he covers a lot of ground. He is also versatile as he can play the No. 6 and the No. 10 as well. Miller is very capable in attack, and enjoys expressing himself in that way, he can pick up the ball anywhere on the pitch and process the game in many ways. With a fierce competitiveness in him, he is driven and is always striving for perfection.
