Luis Rendon -- Named National Gatorade Boy’s Soccer Player of the Year!!!

Today, while sitting in his art class at Cosby High School, Luis Rendon (FC Richmond Magic ’93) had no idea what was about to hit him.  In the hallway was former MLS standout, Alecko Eskandarian, ready to come in to the class and let Luis know that he was named Gatorade National Boy’s Soccer Player of the Year. Luis, a current junior at Cosby, and member of the Magic ’93 team, is the first Virginia soccer player to win the National Award and the first Junior to win the National Award.  Luis has spent the rest of the day enjoying the recognition with his teammates, coaches, and members of the Gatorade and ESPN Rise family.  Luis, who will attend the ESPY Awards later this year, is now up for Gatorade Male Athlete of the Year.  Luis, cannot celebrate too long, as he heads to Portugal with the US Under-18 National Team on May 19th.  Congratulations to Luis on being named Gatorade Boy’s Soccer National Player of the Year.
