The U.S. U18 Men’s National Team is one of four U.S. youth national teams holding camp in Florida this week with the U14s, U17s, and U20s also headed to the Sunshine State.

On Wednesday, the U18 roster leaked on twitter via USAProspects. The official roster has not been announced on ussoccer.com yet.

The camp is expected to include scrimmages against the U17 MNT, which is fresh off the success of the Nike International Friendlies. The U17s are preparing for upcoming events as well as the 2015 U17 World Cup.

U18 MNT head coach Javier Perez called in 24 players for the camp including Sporting Kansas City Homegrown signing Erik Palmer-Brown who headlines a group of 13 players with ties to MLS academies.

While there is a lot of familiarity with the names on the list, there are some new faces to the U.S. youth national team structure. Chicago Magic’s Kendall Stork appears to be making his first appearance with the YNT after playing in the Academy Select games at last month’s DA Showcase. Sereno SC’s Gerves Fagan also looks to be getting his first call-up for the U18 MNT.

The weeklong camp starts on January 4 from Lakewood Ranch, Florida.
