Here are the first four names:</p>    <p class="text-gray-700">Nzita is a forward with the [program_tooltip program_id='283657' first='Houston' last='Dynamo'] who appears in fourth place in the Rankings. He played for both their U16 and U19 teams in the last MLS Next season and also appeared with the club's II team in the MLS Next Pro League, becoming the third-youngest athlete to play in the league, at the age of 14 years, 5 months and 13 days. Capable of playing as a striker or on the wings, Nzita can dominate opponents physically, using his pace and athleticism to keep them under pressure in the final third. The forward, who has been in USYNT training camps at both the U14 and U15 age groups, is also extremely technical and resourceful, often scoring goals in beautiful shots from difficult angles or in first-touch finishes.</p>    <figure class="wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-instagram wp-block-embed-instagram"><div class="wp-block-embed__wrapper"> https://www.instagram.com/p/DMtZi2iuOHd/ </div></figure>    <p class="text-gray-700">Selected for the Rankings Watch List, Meraz was the starting goalkeeper for [program_tooltip program_id='283624' first='Capital' last='City SC'] U15 in the last MLS Next season. Before joining the club, he played for both [program_tooltip program_id='283397' first='[program_tooltip program_id='278668' first='Lonestar' last='']' last='SC'] and [program_tooltip program_id='283612' first='Austin' last='FC']. Meraz is very solid between the posts and displays a high level of safety in his actions, thanks to his excellent technique. Meraz is a great shot-stopper who uses his positioning to be in the right spots between the posts and his agility and explosiveness to get to the ball when it's shot outside his body range. The goalkeeper also uses his feet with great confidence to move the ball and also connects with his teammates with accurate throws. </p>    <figure class="wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-instagram wp-block-embed-instagram"><div class="wp-block-embed__wrapper"> https://www.instagram.com/reel/C31PyukxtU1/ </div></figure>    <p class="text-gray-700">Jenkyn was part of [program_tooltip program_id='283612' first='Austin' last='FC']'s U14 team in the last MLS Next season. A dynamic midfielder, he's very clean in his actions and does an excellent job of moving the ball and keeping his team in a rhythm when in possession, always pushing the right buttons. Jenkyn also plays with good intensity off the ball, keeping opponents under pressure in the center of the field and combining well with his teammates to protect his team's penalty box with timely defensive actions. A central midfielder, he does a great job of identifying the space in the opponent's half and attacking it, often appearing in good spots around and inside the penalty box to create and finish chances.</p>    <figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img src="https://prepsoccer.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/8/2025/04/2J4A0105.jpg?w=1024" alt="" class="wp-image-285033" /></figure>    <p class="text-gray-700">The 11th-best player in our Rankings, Flowers captained the [program_tooltip program_id='283648' first='FC' last='Dallas'] U14 team in the last MLS Next season. A dynamic and productive winger, he typically plays on the left side of the team's attack and is a nightmare to opposing defenders. Flowers, who has been in multiple USYNT ID camps already, had incredible footwork and ball control and combines that with excellent pace and smart movement off the ball, which allows him to thrive when playing out wide. Flowers is also an elite goalscorer and likes to step into the penalty box to finish chances.</p>    <figure class="wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-instagram wp-block-embed-instagram"><div class="wp-block-embed__wrapper"> https://www.instagram.com/reel/C8DGZtSOY82/ </div></figure>   <p></p>
