One week after seeing a fellow Homegrown make his MLS debut, 17-year-old Tyler Adams got his shot.
Starting in a lineup that featured three Homegrown players, Adams impressed in a big way despite the final result.
Following an impressive 2015 season at the USL level, the Wappingers Falls, N.Y., native made the jump to the first team ahead of the current campaign. And on Wednesday night, Adams replaced captain Dax McCarty in a New York Red Bulls lineup that saw heavy squad rotation.
Even in a losing effort, head coach Jesse Marsch was impressed with his young midfielder’s composure and ability in his biggest test to date.
