@PlutoCooked I like waddle but you Also need to show the clips of all the third down drops or jumping in the air for a ball at his chest to then land on the ground.
@TheListFinsPod@CoachJimFuller If you can’t throw more than 5 yards and can’t run for a 2 yard first down— it’s not about the fire! He has plenty of fire his body just has broken down is the hard truth
🇺🇸 LASK has officially signed talented USYNT forward Peyton Presson
Presson, 18, was with Inter Miami academy before heading to Europe. Previously with Philadelphia Union academy too
Peyton Presson (‘08) has signed pro with LASK of Austria’s top flight.
The USYNT central striker from South Florida is a high potential player.
The provisional plan is he will play with the reserves the rest of this season and get first team opportunities next season.
Inter Miami Academy forward Peyton Presson’s first U.S. U-18 Men’s National Team call-up is more than a hot streak. It’s the continuation of a long, uneven development curve that’s finally leveling out.
Presson was widely viewed as one of the highest-upside forwards in the 2008 age group as early as the U-15 level. However, extended absences tied to physical growth issues limited his availability for significant stretches over the last few seasons. Those setbacks slowed momentum, not potential.
Now fully healthy, the profile is resurfacing. At 6’5”, Presson brings a rare physical frame to the striker position, pairing size with functional athleticism, hold-up ability, and a developing goal-scoring toolkit. Consistency remains the final step, but the foundation is clear.
His impact at the U-18 level this season has made that progress hard to ignore. The USYNT call-up reflects both present form and long-term belief in what his ceiling still could be.
This is a return-to-trajectory moment, not a surprise.

Been saying it for years… Met him at 13 and the kid is just all around impressive. He has all the attributes on the pitch (G/A per match kind of player) but his profile is even stronger off it. Character and discipline are so important for clubs that compensate players…. he has that unflinching mentality of consistency in his routines. Had it when I first saw him and carried through the growing pains- now he’s a monster.
If this kid was born anywhere but the US he is already a pro with massive investment behind him.
Peyton Presson ('08) looked like the highest upside of the '08 CF's as early as his U-15 season, but has struggled a lot the last few years from the effects of physical growing pains (it's a real thing that a lot more of these prospects struggle with than people know). It kept him off the field for the better parts of two and a half years.
The ability hasn't went away though, and now he's FINALLY healthy. It's an elite toolkit. 6'5, reasonably athletic for his size, can be dominant with his hold-up play, and has some outlines of an impressive technical/goal-scoring profile if he can just refine his consistency there.
Has been a difference maker for his hometown Inter Miami this season in their U-18's.
