A 2028 playing up on the 2027 team, Jaidyn Barnard is a lanky midfielder from Leonardtown, Maryland, whose speed single-handedly changes games. There were few players who showed off wheels like Barnard. She played primarily as an offensive midfielder this weekend, subbing in and out with a defensive midfielder depending on possession. Every time she came in, Barnard looked like she was shot out of a cannon from the substitution box, and her streaking speed down the middle of the field resulted in multiple goals for her Uproar club. But she also showed she can initiate and create opportunities on her own. One of her best goals this weekend came off an explosive first step on her dodge — as she burst right, she secured shoulder position to work herself in front of the cage for a high-percentage look.
