Related Topics: Gonzalo Pineda, George Bello

Caleb Wiley took the world by storm in 2021. After a strong debut with Atlanta United 2 in 2020, Wiley became one of the youngest regular starters in the USL - Championship in addition to becoming one of the American second division’s best left-backs.

In 2022, Wiley began his first MLS preseason camp as a Homegrown player and as the potential successor to fellow academy product George Bello. He had just turned 17 after high-profile call-ups for the US U-20s against Brazil, Colombia, and Mexico, and hoped to challenge in-coming veteran left-back, Andrew Gutman, for the starting left-back spot.
