FEATURE: Quakes Academy midfielder Gilbert Fuentes named No. 4 player in nation for class of 2020

Gilbert Fuentes, a 15-year-old playing for the Quakes’ U-19s, has been named the No. 4 player in the nation for the class of 2020 by TopDrawerSoccer. He is also tabbed as the nation’s top midfielder.

Having represented the United States internationally at the U-15 level, most recently at the CONCACAF U-15 Championship, Fuentes has become one of the Development Academy’s premier talents. He’s one of five players in the country, and the only one west of Illinois, to earn a five-star rating by TDS.

Per the website, a five-star ranking signifies:

Best of the Best - A player who ranks in the highest percentile of his peers and is coveted by coaches and scouts, pro and college alike.
