My Take
Josh Sargent caught my attention early, when he became the youngest American to score at a FIFA U-20 World Cup at just 17. That kind of precocity can be a blessing or a burden, and I'm always curious which way it breaks for a young forward. Watching him move through Major League Soccer with Toronto FC and earn his place with the United States national team, I see a player still writing his story. At 185 centimeters he has the frame for a target forward, and being from O'Fallon, Missouri rather than a coastal academy hub makes his rise feel a little more homegrown to me.
