HARRISON, N.J. – New York Red Bulls homegrowns John Tolkin and Daniel Edelman have been selected to the U.S. Men’s Olympic team training camp for March, U.S. Soccer announced today.
Tolkin, 21, will be making his third-straight call-up to a U.S. Men’s Olympic Team training camp.

He led the U.S. U-20’s in 2022 to win the 2022 CONCACAF U-20 Championship, which qualified the United States for the 2024 Summer Olympics for the first time since 2008.
