The United States Men’s National Team’s annual winter camp is traditionally where domestic players make their mark, earning a spot after a strong season in Major League Soccer. Auston Trusty is one such player, emerging as a leader on the back line for the Colorado Rapids. While having been a part of the program in the past, the 23-year-old center back appears to be on an upward trajectory half a decade into his professional career.
Trusty was born in Media, Pennsylvania, amassing the résumé of the superlative American child: standout multi-sport athlete (basketball, football, soccer, and baseball), charity work, and student council president.
