Freeman, a defender for MLS's Orlando City SC, has scored three goals and assisted another in 14 matches in 2025. While it's only a preliminary roster spot, the young fullback has shown his prowess as a 20-year-old.
In his most recent appearance, he posted 90 minutes with a shot on target, a successful clearance while completing 32 out of his 39 passes. Those came on May 18 against the Lionel Messi-led Inter Miami, a match that Orlando City won 3-0.
While his father was making circus catches in overtime for the Green Bay Packers, Alex Freeman is showcasing his talents in a different kind of football, and now he's headed towards a potential U.S. Men's National Team debut this summer.
