2023 Top 50 MLS Prospects: Nos. 1-10
The Top 10 countdown of the best domestic MLS prospects is out ahead of the season.
MORE: 41-50 | 31-40 | 21-30 | 11-20
Aiming to project the top up-and-coming talent in the league that is eligible for the United States, Canada or Mexico, several breakout players are expected to excel this season.
Check out the full criteria for the list.
10. Brandan Craig – CB – Philadelphia Union
DOB: 4/7/2004 | HT: 6-1 | WT: 159 | Last Year’s Ranking: 25
The center back prospect remains that, with all of three MLS minutes to his name. Handling the league’s physicality remains a big question, as he’s still listed as relatively slight of frame. He did excel with the U.S. U20, helping them qualify for this year’s World Cup. A big showing there could get him close to the first team, although like other young defenders on this list, it’s an uphill task to win over confidence of coaches, no matter the level of talent.
