The IMG Academy Top 150 Players list for the class of 2021 is out. TopDrawerSoccer released the first edition of the list on Monday for the Spring 2017 update. The TopDrawerSoccer Top 150 player ranking, presented by IMG Academy, is a comprehensive attempt at trying to classify the best youth soccer players in the United States in each class. 

Giovanni Reyna, the son of soccer royalty Claudio Reyna and Danielle Egan, is the No. 1 player in the class and a five-star prospect. Reyna, born in 2002, is one of the top players on the U.S. U15 Boys National Team as well as a standout with the NYCFC U16 team. The dynamic attacking talent looks to be a class above most in this class and a name to know for the future.

FC Dallas forward Dante Sealy is the No. 2 player in the class. Sealy has been a standout with the U.S. youth teams recently and one of the top scorers in the Development Academy while playing up an age group. Sealy looks to be among the top players in the 2003 birth year, s he has shown with the youth national team for the past year. 

Fellow Texan Julian Gaines, the younger brother of Wolfsburg’s McKinze Gaines, is the No. 3 player in this class. Gaines, like Reyna, plays for the U.S. U15 Boys National Team. He has been a regular with that group since it’s first camp last year. At the club level, Gaines plays for Lonestar SC (Austin, Texas) in the Development Academy. 

Defender Joseph Scally makes it two NYCFC players in the top four. Scally, a left back with tremendous upside, is the No. 4 player in the IMG Academy Top 150 Players for the class of 2021. The 14-year-old is a club teammate with Reyna as well as his teammate on the youth national team. Scally is the top ranked defender in the class.

Sebastian Burke (Chelsea FC; Raleigh, North Carolina) rounds out the top five for this class. Burke is one of the best midfielders in this class. His soccer intelligence is way beyond his years and he looks to be versatile as a prospect with potential to fill in as an outside back. Burke is the top player in this class currently playing outside of the United States.
