"The youngest player on this year's list is quite possibly the one with the most upside. Sporting Kansas City Homegrown center back Erik Palmer-Brown has attracted interest on both sides of the Atlantic and is expected to play a big role in this US U-20 national team's cycle. He certainly has the physical goods to do so."

In 2013, EPB became the youngest signing in Sporting KC history at the age of 16. He has played with the national team at basically all levels of Youth development including U-15s, U-17s, U-18s.
