Longwood native Graham Zusi enjoys new role with U.S. national team

Graham Zusi’s face dripped with sweat as he walked off a cloud-covered pitch Sunday morning.

Continual sunshine is one of the things he misses most about Florida. The Longwood-born soccer player hasn’t been back to his hometown since Sporting Kansas City, his MLS team, traveled to play Orlando City in September, 2015.

It’s tough finding time to visit between the club season and training with the U.S. men’s national team. He is one of 32 players who were called to the Americans’ January camp at Stubhub Center in Carson, Calif.
