The summer circuit has come to a swift close. The class of '25 is now out on the market and are being contacted for the first time by college coaches. As a result, the recruiting class of 2024 is almost complete, with several players still finalizing their college destinations.
The midfield is the heart of any good (or even bad) club team. If you don't have a star midfielder, you don't have a chance of winning against the top teams in the country. You have to be able to initiate from up top in order to get things going regardless of the level.
But, that being said, these five guys were the best of the best.
Here are five of the best midfielders that I saw on the summer circuit over the past few months. Players are listed with team, club, class year and college commitment (where applicable).
