The 21-year-old Excelsior High School alumni has a stellar performance last year, leading his school Bryant & Stratton College to the USCAA championship final.  Bedward will strut his skills for recruiters this summer at the Players’ Development League.

The midfielder left Excelsior for Cloud County Community College in 2013 and spent two years at that institution before transferring to his present school, where he has seen his game improve and confidence grow since joining in September.
