He's part of the [program_tooltip program_id='283657' first='Houston' last='Dynamo'] Academy, featuring for their U19 team in the MLS Next League and also appearing for their Dos team at MLS Next Pro. An athletic and dynamic wide player, Gardner can play anywhere on the right side, standing out for his pace and ability to progress the ball. He was recently called up for the US U17 national team and saw his stock rise with excellent performances. Very difficult to stop when he gets going, the winger also has solid dribbling skills and is capable of delivering accurate crosses into the penalty box. He has good tactical discipline, too, tracking back and playing defense with solid determination.</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/DObaxeWkZMj/ </div></figure>    <p class="text-gray-700">Sedeh appears in fourth place among the Texas forwards and is just outside the top ten prospects in the state, ranking 12th overall. He rose through the [program_tooltip program_id='283648' first='FC' last='Dallas'] Academy, where he now plays for their U19 team in the MLS Next League, but a few months ago made his debut with North Texas at MLS Next Pro. A very skilled forward with superior technical skills and a nose for scoring goals, he has a solid all-around game and is a constant threat in the final third. He has the pace and the dribbling skills to play out wide, but his quick feet, excellent positioning and impressive finishing skills make him even more dangerous when he's deployed more centrally, closer to the goal.</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/DQ2A84-idrz/ </div></figure>    <p class="text-gray-700">Kerr comes up in seventh place among the forwards and ranks 20th overall in the Texas Class of 2027. He competes for Frisco Heritage at the high school level and Solar SC U19 in the ECNL League, where he earned the Texas Conference Player of the Year award last season. A six-footer, he's an athletic and skilled winger who thrives on the open field, but can also unlock defenses with his dribbling ability. Kerr is ruthless in transition, covering large distances in no time with his long legs and showing great decision-making and balance to leave opponents behind as he charges towards the goal. He's very crafty and unpredictable with his dribbling, which allows him to keep the ball in tight spaces. Kerr also finishes very well, consistently getting on the end of crosses to score with first-time shots.</p>    <figure class="wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio"><div class="wp-block-embed__wrapper"> https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yJjIPI6QRjU </div></figure>    <p class="text-gray-700">Taylor took 17th place among the forwards and shows in 42nd place overall in our Rankings. He's a key player on Klein Collins' high school team and integrates the [program_tooltip program_id='283658' first='Houston' last='Rangers']' U17 team in the MLS Next League. A pacey and dynamic winger, he keeps opposing backlines under pressure with his direct and aggressive game. He plays primarily on the left, and does a good of staying wide to stretch the field and face opponents in 1v1 duels, but can also hurt backlines with diagonal runs in behind. Taylor is very intense with how he plays and managed to keep his level high throughout entire matches.</p>      <p class="text-gray-700">Torkin came up in 18th place in the list of forwards, ranking 48th overall in Texas. He plays high school soccer for Cinco Ranch and competes in the MLS Next League with Global Football Innovation (GFI) Academy in the U17 Division. A striker, Torkin is extremely well-rounded inside the penalty box and highly productive, getting many goal contributions every season. An elite finisher, he often scores from difficult spots, but also uses his positioning to get on the end of crosses and find the back of the net with tap-ins. Torkin also likes to get involved in the team's playmaking and does it with great quality, working well with his back to the goal, beating opponents in tight spaces and finding smart passes in the final third.</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/DKa37hyoY8f/ </div></figure>
