Future stalwart of the Philadelphia Union backline Auston Trusty was named the No. 5 best defender under 20 years old by Major League Soccer.
To say nothing of his tactical bonafides, it’s pretty clear just by looking at him that Auston Trusty is a center back. Trusty hit 6-foot-3 at the tender age of 18, which can be an awkward mix for young central defenders still coming into their own agility. Trusty’s shown some of that transition, as expected, but he’s also displayed an amazing amount of promise since signing for the Union in 2016.
