Forged by Atlanta: The Homegrown George Campbell on his development through Atlanta United's system

ATL UTD defender George Campbell has grown immensely since he first played for the Academy team in 2016. As he jumped from the Academy to playing for ATL UTD 2 and now with his MLS debut behind him, Campbell has continued to learn and develop, taking lessons from his Academy days to The Proving Ground to Mercedes-Benz Stadium.

“Under Tony Annan (the Academy Director), I played almost every position so a lot of the parts of my game got a lot better. When I got to the USL, Coach Glass helped a lot with some fundamentals and things I needed to nail down and little things that I needed to fix like body position during crosses,” Campbell explained.
