There's no getting around it. A still young veteran reached a whole new level in 2020 to grab control of the USMNT's right back hierarchy. In my book, anyway.
Walker Zimmerman
Matt Miazga
Justen Glad
Needs a rally: Miles Robinson
It won't be too long: Henry Kessler, Chris Richards
Hoping for a revival from: Cameron Carter-Vickers, Erik Palmer-Brown
Zimmerman was amazing and then some for Nashville this season; IF LAFC
doesn't send him over for some crazy reason, the expansion side don't
sniff the postseason. In addition to raising his all-around game, he's
the biggest handful of a set piece target in the pool.
Miazga
could still make a similar leap (as could fellow youngsters
Carter-Vickers and Palmer-Brown, for that matter), but for now, the
eternal Chelsea loan-out tends toward plenty of steady play punctuated
by stray mistakes in a US shirt. Robinson had a tough year in Atlanta, but could rise high in 2021. If the staff at Real Salt Lake had the
appropriate amount of faith in Glad last season, he might already be
second here. As is, he seems a decent emergency choice. Kessler and
Richards are right on his tail, though, so 2021 will be big for all the
guys chasing Zimmerman.
