The USL season comes to a close for Atlanta United 2, and what a year it was. In 2021, Atlanta United 2 fielded one of the youngest squads in the USL Championship made up of first-time professionals from the college ranks, academy prospects, foreign loanees, and a few USL veterans. The 2’s didn’t break their record for youngest match-day 11 this year but got very close several times with average squad ages hovering around 20-21 years old. This was a squad built on potential and they showed plenty of it.
Following the 2020 season, forward Phillip Goodrum and goalkeeper Ben Lundgaard returned to the club along with forward Amadou Macky Diop, midfielder Abdoulaye Diop, and defenders Jack Gurr and Bradley Kamdem Fewo.
