Whyte is a center midfielder for St. Louis City MLS Next U15. He previously played for St. Louis Scott Gallagher MLS Next. He has been part of the US Soccer Talent ID Center events and was recently called into one. Whyte was a standout last season in MLS Next and appears to found a similar role with his new club. He immediately stands out from his peers with his physical profile – tall, long stride, lean. Whyte plays as a box-to-box midfielder. He plays with his head up. He reads the game well and cuts out passes. He is excellent in transition when he can get up to full-speed running at the defense. There is a lot of potential to Whyte’s game. He is already a high-impact midfielder at the youth level, refining the rest of his game should put him on the professional pathway.
