Kyle Smith - Louisville City FC

Coming from the PDL’s Cincinnati Dutch Lions, Smith has become a fixture at fullback for Louisville this season, and currently sits tied for the league-lead with five assists. Appearing in all-but-one of Louisville’s games this season, Smith still leads the team in minutes played, while also sitting in the top 15 in the league in that category.

Kyle Smith finds Chandler Hoffman to put LOU ahead

Brandon Allen - New York Red Bulls II

The Red Bulls Homegrown signing has led the side in scoring this season, and provided a strong presence against opposing defenses that has allowed the team’s attacking midfielders to find time and space of their own. In addition to leading the team in goals, Allen also leads NYRB II with 1,167 minutes of action.

T.J. Casner - Rio Grande Valley FC

The Toros have been one of the most entertaining sides to watch in the USL this season, and Casner has been a major reason why. A third-round MLS SuperDraft selection in January, the former Clemson standout has recorded a team-high four assists, while also sitting fourth on the Toros with 1,223 minutes of action to help the expansion side to a place in the playoff positions at the halfway point.

Alphonso Davies - Vancouver Whitecaps FC 2

The youngest player in USL history has also been one of the best stories of the 2016 season. Davies has scored two goals in the league, but also earned starts for the Canada U20 National Team as it defeated England in an international exhibition, and appeared in all four of the Whitecaps’ games in the 2016 Amway Canadian Championship.
