Willem Ebbinge, Henry Hamilton, Alex Clayton and Ronan Wynne probably the stand out US college guys.
There’s also Adama Coulibaly and Riley Peach if we’re considering teenagers.

Did wonder about Willem Ebbinge. Dark horse (out of sight, out of mind) for France. But Bazeley had him as his U22 captain for the OFC Olympics qualifying tourney in Auckland last year.
And as we know Baze has been talking to Stevie C alot. However it's almost appeared with Ebbinge football is secondary to his studies. He's been at Harvard, so of above average intelligence, and that place tends to open doors for it's graduates.
His was part of Des's 2019 U20 squad as an 18 yr old. Has never had the hype of a Joe Bell, but some parallels. Ebbinge from Queenstown. Bell from Wanaka. Both in the Nix Academy for awhile then the US College scene. I think he would have been age eligible for the 2021 U20 WC?? I guess like a few others with that WC Covid cancelled, he's been off the radar. Again could be a dark horse pick for the Olympics (4 travelling reserves anyway)
