USMNT player-by-player guide: Get to know all 23 players called up for Copa América

United States men's national team head coach Gregg Berhalter finalized his 23-man roster for the 2024 CONMEBOL Copa América on Friday and while the roster is full of household names like Christian Pulisic, Giovanni Reyna and Weston McKennie, there are a handful of players that have yet to make their mark on the national stage.

Here's a full player-by-player breakdown of the USMNT's Copa América roster from FOX Sports' soccer reporters Doug McIntyre and Laken Litman: 

GOALKEEPERS

Matt Turner

Age: 29
Birthplace: Park Ridge, NJ
Club: Nottingham Forest
Position: Goalkeeper
Team role: Starter
USMNT caps: 38

Matt Turner transferred to Nottingham Forest from Arsenal last year. But after being the club's No. 1 goalkeeper to start, he lost his job after making too many mistakes and hasn't played since last December.

But Turner is no stranger to competing for playing time. Turner, who didn't start playing soccer until he was 16 years old, had to earn his spot as a walk-on at Fairfield University. He went undrafted by MLS after college, but impressed the New England Revolution during a tryout and got a contract, but it took time for him to see the pitch.

Even the first time he was called up to the national team, Zack Steffen was the starter. But during World Cup qualifying in 2021, Steffen was unavailable so Turner got the nod and hasn't given up his spot since. 

This is a crucial summer for the U.S. as it hopes to make a run at winning Copa America – which would be a huge coup for the team ahead of the 2026 World Cup on home soil. While Turner isn't playing much for his club, he's the kind of guy who always looks forward, wants to keep improving, and is going to do everything he can to help the USMNT be successful.
