Despite his relative anonymity before the U-23 cycle, Orozco has come into camps and made a strong impression with his sophisticated tactical presence and field awareness. Called into his first training camp in four years in January, Orozco has become an important part of the USA’s backline. At 5 feet 10 inches, Orozco will likely slide into a center back position after regularly starting at left back for Mexican First Division club San Luis.
