TopDrawerSoccer has just refreshed its Boys Class of 2026 club soccer player rankings, a move that has put a new name at the very top of the list.
Cavan Sullivan, a product of YSC Academy, has been re‑classified and recently graduated, and his breakout performance earns him the No. 1 spot in the latest edition.
A Star on the Rise
The rankings, presented by Madrid Euro Soccer Academy, Spain’s leading professional residency soccer academy, reflect a blend of scouting data, on‑field metrics and the academy’s own evaluation process.
Madrid Euro Soccer Academy, known for its full‑season and short‑term programs as well as Elite Summer Programs for boys and girls, offers aspiring players a pathway to showcase their talents to regional and national selectors.
Players who create a free profile on TopDrawerSoccer can be considered for regional and national rankings, a system that the outlet says is designed to give scouts a comprehensive view of each athlete’s abilities.
The updated list not only celebrates Sullivan’s ascent but also underscores the growing influence of data‑driven ranking platforms in shaping the next generation of soccer talent.
