The last year has been monumental for Homegrown defender Sam Vines.
First, he earned his first cap for the U.S. Men’s National Team following his first senior team call up. Then, he was the only player on the Rapids to play every minute of the regular season. He also scored his first goal and notched his first assist in MLS.
December saw him earn another national team call-up and another cap. Now, he’s in Bradenton, Fla., at the USMNT combined senior team and U-23 camp. And he's found himself in prime position for the starting left back spot for the U-23s heading into Olympic qualification.
