The Independent North Texas Pro Soccer News Source
All-Time Academy Pros
This is a list of every FC Dallas Academy player that we know of who has played for a professional or semi-professional soccer team indoors or outdoors.
I have chosen not to include amateur players at North Texas SC or any other club. This list is of professionally contracted and paid players only.
The list is organized by birth year – youngest to oldest – and I have listed each team they played for that I can find.
