The Seattle Sounders’ development path notched another honor today when United States Youth National Team coach Mikey Varas called Danny Levya into the upcoming U-20 camp. Currently, in a World Cup and Olympic Qualifying cycle, the U-20s are meeting outside of the international window. That means several of the core players, such as Obed Vargas, are not with this camp.
Leyva has played twice with the current group, including wearing the captain’s armband once. He also was a US U-17 Concacaf and World Cup player, plus a GA Cup winner. After missing some time in preseason, Leyva has earned 74 minutes with the Sounders and 284 with Defiance.
