She can play center back or outside back. She was named to the Girls Academy National Talent ID Roster over the summer. She featured in both positions along the backline during that event. She showed her quality on the ball as a passer in both roles. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Brown has been a top defender in the Girls Academy recently. She's got a strong all-around game. She can win duels with her smart play and also her strength. She has good recovery speed and never quits on a play. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>This Talent ID will be a good challenge for her against the top talent from every league in Southern California. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["381607"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-6aad44742edee"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Callahan is a forward on the [program_tooltip program_id='283476' first='Slammers' last='FC'] HB Koge 2011/2012 ECNL team. She was a standout for the squad during the ECNL playoffs. She can play on the wing or in the center. She's got elite pace and good instincts in the final third. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Callahn is an aggressive 1v1 player on the wing. She's confident to take players on with the ball at her feet. It's an attribute that can sometimes be lacking from elite prospects in this position, but she has plenty of it, which makes her one of the best in the state from her position. She should be one of the top talents to watch at this event. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["335242"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-6aad8a1881cd9"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Sherman is a top prospect from Beach FC who has been part of the US Soccer National Team camps in the past. She's got incredible skill and ball control. She's got a sweet left foot and a competitive drive that usually puts her on the winning team in any contest. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Sherman has been a standout at the ECNL level and a joy to watch on the pitch. She's a technical player with a high level skill and comfort on the ball. She has the tools to go a long way in the game. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["350329"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-6aad8a1881d44"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Meltzer is one of the younger players at this event. She's a 2031 who plays on the 2011/2012 [program_tooltip program_id='278034' first='San' last='Diego Surf ECNL'] team. She's one of the best left backs in the country in the 2012 age group. She's a two-way player who can fit into any role for the style of play her team needs - they need help on the wing to create advantages or an overlapping run or an extra midfielder to break down the opposition. She can do it all and backs it up with the ability to shut down wingers consistently. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong><span style="text-decoration: underline;">US Soccer Talent Identification Roster | NORCO, California | September 23, 2026 | 2012 Girls</span></strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='410768' first='Camila' last='Aguilar'] ([program_tooltip program_id='280776' first='Eagles' last='SC']), [player_tooltip player_id='335238' first='Stella' last='Boyd'] (San Diego Surf), [player_tooltip player_id='336027' first='Emiko' last='Brown'] (FRAM SC), [player_tooltip player_id='381607' first='Teagan' last='Callahan'] Slammers HB Koge, [player_tooltip player_id='349262' first='Summer' last='Chin'] (Southern California Blues SC), [player_tooltip player_id='410769' first='Georgi' last='Economy'] ([program_tooltip program_id='283395' first='Legends' last='FC']), [player_tooltip player_id='410714' first='Jordan' last='Elliott'] (Rangers), Camila Gonzalez, [player_tooltip player_id='336024' first='Emily' last='Groeninger'] [program_tooltip program_id='280776' first='Eagles' last='SC'], [player_tooltip player_id='336001' first='Maya' last='Hamrick'] ([program_tooltip program_id='283295' first='City' last='SC']), Alexa Hernandez ([program_tooltip program_id='280776' first='Eagles' last='SC']), [player_tooltip player_id='410776' first='Faith' last='Herren'] ([program_tooltip program_id='283395' first='Legends' last='FC']), [player_tooltip player_id='335392' first='Amari' last='Hill'] (LAFC So Cal Youth), [player_tooltip player_id='410715' first='Camille' last='Honma'] ([program_tooltip program_id='283425' first='[program_tooltip program_id='283424' first='Pateadores' last='']' last='']), [player_tooltip player_id='410770' first='Jiana' last='Junker'] (Beach FC), [player_tooltip player_id='350686' first='Lina' last='Koreeda'] (Beach FC), [player_tooltip player_id='382506' first='Mira' last='Le'] (Southern California Blues SC), [player_tooltip player_id='378949' first='Clarisse' last='Lee'] (Southern California Blues SC), [player_tooltip player_id='294980' first='Kensington' last='McGrath'] (San Diego Surf), [player_tooltip player_id='350329' first='Camryn' last='Meltzer'] (San Diego Surf), [player_tooltip player_id='410893' first='Mikyla' last='Metz'] (LAFC So Cal), [player_tooltip player_id='335180' first='Viviana' last='Muirragui'] ([program_tooltip program_id='283295' first='City' last='SC']), [player_tooltip player_id='381430' first='Alexandria' last='Navarro'] ([program_tooltip program_id='283476' first='Slammers' last='FC'] HB Koge), [player_tooltip player_id='410772' first='Ariana' last='Navarro'] So Cal Blues, [player_tooltip player_id='284293' first='Malia' last='Ostrom'] ([program_tooltip program_id='283476' first='Slammers' last='FC'] HB Koge), Anabel Rodriguez ([program_tooltip program_id='280776' first='Eagles' last='SC']), [player_tooltip player_id='335242' first='Tali' last='Sherman'] (Beach FC), [player_tooltip player_id='410088' first='Ruby' last='Summers'] ([program_tooltip program_id='283634' first='City' last='SC San Diego']), [player_tooltip player_id='410767' first='Livia' last='Terry'] ([program_tooltip program_id='283425' first='[program_tooltip program_id='283424' first='Pateadores' last='']' last=''])</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
