A dream come true: The story of Kevin Barajas

In life, opportunities are presented to all of us at one point or another. Although they may not come how we imagined they would, destiny still arrives. Just ask Atlanta United 2 player Kevin Barajas.

Barajas, 22, was signed to the club on February 12 after participating in the American Family Insurance Dream Tryouts held in Atlanta last December. The tryout was apart of Atlanta United’s efforts to give undiscovered players in the southeast a unique opportunity to land a professional contract. Hundreds of aspiring players attended the tryout, but only Barajas earned a deal with Atlanta United.
