Cyle Larin

Larin was born in Brampton, Ontario in Canada to a Jamaican family and attended St. Edmund Campion Secondary School, where he was the school's top goal scorer for the final three years that he attended.{{cite web|title=UConn Bio|url=http://www.uconnhuskies.com/sports/m-soccer/mtt/cyle_larin_855126.html|publisher=University of Connecticut|accessdate=May 23, 2014|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20150907191612/http://www.uconnhuskies.com/sports/m-soccer/mtt/cyle_larin_855126.html|archive-date=September 7, 2015|url-status=dead}} In 2007, at the age of 11, Larin joined the private soccer academy Sigma FC of the Ontario Soccer League before graduating in 2013. During his time at Sigma FC, Larin travelled to Europe for training periods with Werder Bremen, Hertha Berlin and Wolfsburg in Germany, as well as Racing Genk and Club Brugge in Belgium twice. About the striker, then-Sigma FC Technical Director Bobby Smyrniotis said, "Cyle is a rare player to find in Canada...a complete and modern striker able to play with both feet, finish from all areas, dominate his region of the park and provide for his teammates."{{cite web|title=Cyle Larin and Kwame Awuah Commit to the University of Connecticut|url=http://www.sigma-sports.net/newsEvents/CyleLarinAndKwameAwuahCommitToTheUniversityOfConnecticut.html|publisher=Sigma FC|accessdate=May 23, 2014}}

In 2013, Larin committed to the University of Connecticut. During his first year with the Huskies, Larin scored 14 goals in 23 appearances, the 6th highest goal total in the entire NCAA for the season. His performance during his freshman year earned him multiple honours including Freshman of the Year by TopDrawerSoccer.com and being named to the American Athletic Conference All-Rookie Team. In January 2014, Larin was touted as one of the best players available in the 2014 MLS SuperDraft. However, he did not sign a Generation Adidas deal with Major League Soccer before the draft and was named the No. 2 best college player available in 2015 if he opted to sign with the league.{{cite web|last=Sulat|first=Nate|title=SuperDraft: Who are the top 10 college players ahead of the 2015 draft?|url=http://www.mlssoccer.com/superdraft/2014/news/article/2014/01/22/superdraft-who-are-top-10-college-players-ahead-2015-draft|publisher=Major League Soccer|accessdate=May 23, 2014|archive-date=January 25, 2014|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20140125013725/http://www.mlssoccer.com/superdraft/2014/news/article/2014/01/22/superdraft-who-are-top-10-college-players-ahead-2015-draft|url-status=dead}}
