5 stars in the LA Galaxy & USMNT universe

5. Jalen Neal

The 6-foot, 3-inch tall center-back first appeared for the Los Angeles Galaxy in 2021. He would play on the USNMT U16 team two years before that.

After a one-year hiatus and two seasons with the U20 squad, Neal is now on the official USMNT roster. He has played in six contests internationally for his home country.

With only 27 games under his belt with the LA Galaxy so far, he has scored once. Neal will turn 21 years old before the end of this month. As the Galaxy currently sits in first place in the Western Conference this season, he could win his first MLS Championship this year.

While youth and skill are both on his side, this member of the LA Galaxy could easily break through to the next Olympic roster. The next Summer Olympics (2028), should the USMNT qualify, will be held right here in Los Angeles, California.
