by Sheldon Shealer

January 4, 2017

More than 400 fall- and winter-playing high school boys players will make the cut for the Fall TeamSnap All-America Watch List and Winter TeamSnap All-America Watch List.

Players, through coaches recommendations and TopDrawerSoccer staff observations, will be added each week to the list as performances warrant. The only players that will be removed from the list will be athletes who are no longer playing high school soccer or sustain a season-ending injury that will take them out of all-state consideration.

Complete list of TeamSnap All-America Update articles.

Here are recent performances and updates from players on the TeamSnap All-America Watch Lists:
