Below are Numbers 11 through 20 in this year's Top 50 countdown.
20. Noah Cobb – CB – Atlanta United
DOB: 7/20/2005 | HT: 6-1 | WT: 165 | Last Year’s Ranking: N/A
A strong 2024 saw Cobb take a big step forward in terms of earning MLS experience. Whether that boiled down to Atlanta’s struggles or a sign of things to come will be determined as the new season gets going. Playing nearly 1,400 minutes is positive, though a completely new coaching staff has evaluated him this preseason. He is not the biggest player for his position, and still young at just 19 years old. This is a big season to see if he can establish himself as a regular starter or remains a third/fourth central defensive option in the ATL.
