My Take
Cyle Larin reads to me like a textbook case of the North American striker who earned everything through the college-to-pro pipeline. Coming out of UConn to go first overall in the 2015 MLS SuperDraft with Orlando City is no small thing, and at 188 cm he has the frame you want from a striker or left winger. What interests me most is the trajectory since: a move to Mallorca in Spain's second division, a pending switch to Southampton in mid-2026, and a steady role with the Canada national team. He feels like a player still writing his story, adapting across leagues rather than settling.
Overview
Cyle Christopher Larin (; born April 17, 1995) is a Canadian professional soccer player who plays as a striker or a left winger for Segunda División club Mallorca and the Canada national team. He will join EFL Championship club Southampton on June 15, 2026. After playing college soccer for the UConn Huskies, Larin was the first pick of the 2015 MLS SuperDraft, joining Orlando City.
