RISING: Matt Miazga
Born to Polish parents in New Jersey, Miazga dreamed of becoming a professional player as he developed through the New York Red Bulls’ Academy system. After a standout year for club and country in 2015 saw Miazga make a dream move to Chelsea, the young defender has spent the last two seasons at Dutch side Vitesse, obsessed with honing his craft as he works to become a prime center back with the U.S. Men's National Team.![Image](https://cdn.sanity.io/images/oyf3dba6/production/0aa6abaed3f02fbfb351fe51dd034a05a58a7a61-1260x510.png?w=1062&fit=max&auto=format)
