SPEAKER 1

Hey, Caleb, nice to meet you. Nice to meet you. All right, I'm Nathan Hill with Afterburn Soccer, a blog and podcast covering FC Dallas and North Texas. And especially, it's been fun to get some of the North Texas players and share stories of guys like you making their way in professional soccer and through this system.

So I think there'll be a lot of folks curious about your story. Yes, sir. So first of all, congratulations on signing with North Texas. I know you've been with the Academy for a few years. What brought you into the FC Dallas organization? I think you were with Solar before, right? And how has that experience been?

SPEAKER 2

It's been a great experience. So I started out at Solar and I grew up playing FC Dallas once every month. And so the competition was always there. And I think they just had a little bit more edge and the older I got, the more I wanted to become a pro.
