INDIO, Calif. — The final list of standouts from MLS Next Fest is from the Class of 2025.
This was my first time watching the seven players on this list play live, and they each brought unique skill sets at different positions. Some players, like IFA New England midfielder Alfred Debah are already committed to college, while others, like Debah’s teammate Griffin Collins, are uncommitted, but stood out at the event.
Bayside’s TJ Levisee, Beachside’s Caedin Sikora, and IFA’s Malik Akin were three other Class of 2025 standouts mentioned in my uncommitted story.
Because of the schedule, I couldn't watch NEFC and the FC Greater Boston Bolts U-19 teams play. But those players have been highlighted throughout the fall.
