Like his brother, Sporting Kansas City and US national team center back Matt, Besler is tremendous at breaking up attacks as a defensive midfielder, but he also has a keen distributive eye and the willingness to step into the attack and polish its rougher edges.

RealSaltLake.com: Besler's profile

OUTSIDE MLS: Besler, 23, started 22 matches with three goals and one assist in 2017 for the Monarchs, who lead the USL with a record of 16-3-4. He was selected as captain by Mike Petke prior to the season-opener and has maintained that position under Monarchs Head Coach Mark Briggs since Petke was promoted to RSL Head Coach in April.

COLLEGE: Besler’s career at Notre Dame has few equals. In four years, the dedicated holding midfielder made 72 appearances and was the beating heart of the defensive midfield that led the stingy Irish to the 2013 national championship.

NOTES: No. 5 overall pick in 2015 SuperDraft.
