Fayetteville High School Boys Soccer Players 2024 to Watch

The 2024 NCHSAA and NCISAA boys soccer seasons are approaching next week and it’s time to highlight the area’s top talent.

Last season, Lumberton took home the regular season conference championship, while Cape Fear won the tournament championship in the United 8.

For the All American Conference, Triton reigned victorious with the regular season and conference championships, but Terry Sanford’s Brent Smith took home the Defensive Player of the Year award, and Gibson Bray was Co-Goalie of the Year with Overhills’ Daniel Sykes.

Seven players from the area are expected to stand out from the rest and make an impact in the 2024 season.

Here are those seven players from the Fayetteville area between public and private schools.
