The New Jersey native had previously committed to play college soccer at North Carolina in the fall. The 17-year-old midfielder made his Red Bulls II debut in 2020, appearing in in five matches last season. On July 22, 2020, he scored his first pro goal against the Philadelphia Union II.
Prior to joining the Red Bulls Academy, Edelman made more than 100 appearances in the Development Academy for PDA.
“I am excited to sign my first professional contract, as this starts the next chapter in my soccer journey,” Edelman said in a statement. “It is truly a privilege to put on this uniform and I’ll continue to challenge myself to improve every day while competing at the highest level.”
