The 2007 is a quietly productive and fast-maturing group—one that already has more players breaking into first teams than the 2006s. Peyton Miller and Zavier Gozo both delivered impressive MLS seasons and look poised to draw significant European interest, while Jonathan Shore continued to build on his early breakthrough. Behind them, a strong wave of MLS-ready talent is coming: Neil Pierre, Drew Baiera, Jonny Shore, Harbor Miller, Dominik Chong Qui, Tristan Brown and Gavin Turner all have realistic pathways to first-team minutes in 2025.

Positionally, this class has several clear strengths. The full-back group is arguably the best of any active USYNT cohort, with above-average depth and multiple high-ceiling profiles on both flanks. Center-back is another standout, led by Pierre and supported by a cluster of physically and tactically advanced defenders. Goalkeeper isn’t deep, but the top options have consistently performed at a high level for USYNT and remain firmly in the mix.

The picture becomes less encouraging in midfield, where the pool is thin across all profiles, and the wing group—while not bad—relies heavily on dual-nationals in Europe who are currently representing other countries. The striker class has also thinned from what once looked like a major strength, though Justin Ellis and Jykese Fields remain excellent long-term prospects.

As with many modern American age groups, the ultimate ceiling will depend on how many European-based dual-nationals commit to the U.S. program. With the 2007s set to lead the next U-20 World Cup cycle, this will be the first real opportunity for the class to solidify its identity—and to prove it can emerge as one of the more impactful groups in the pipeline.
