Bio of USMNT midfielder Wil Trapp who plays for Minnesota United in MLS.
Caps: 20
Wil Trapp showed his leadership as a member of the Columbus Crew, transferring that to the USMNT where he quickly emerged as a captain under interim coach Dave Sarachan in 2018. Trapp has spent his entire career in Columbus, emerging as a key part of coach Gregg Berhalter’s tactical plan. That should continue with Berhalter becoming USMNT coach. What Trapp brings is consistency, knowing his role and how to position himself to add value to a tactical setup. He moved from Columbus to Inter Miami for the 2020 MLS season. Trapp moved again for 2021, joining Minnesota.
