Professional leagues are in full swing here in the United States, and another league came into the full over the weekend with the debut of USL League One!
To highlight these tremendous talents, "Five To Shine" is here this week to shine a spotlight on five former League Two-ers that put in the work over the weekend with their pro club.
In League One's first-ever match, Alex Morrell scored for Tormenta FC to give his club a 1-0 win over Greenville Triumph on a night that proved to be spectacular in Statesboro, Georgia.
Meanwhile, a number of players in the USL Championship stood out, including New York Red Bulls II attacker Jared Stroud, Tommy McCabe of North Carolina FC and Tacoma Defiance goalkeeper Trey Muse.
At the MLS level, Jeremy Ebobisse scored his second goal of the season for the Portland Timbers.
Below, check out how all five players performed over the weekend.
