Not a lot to go on beyond this tweet: '97 Carolina product DJ Taylor signed a pro contact with FC Torre Levante. #usynt pic.twitter.com/hJ27k8t2MD— Joey (@USAprospects) August 15, 2016 Can't find much about him and only a limited amount on the club who goes by the full name: CF Torre Levante Orriols which has been in the Spanish Tercera Division (4th level) in the recent past.
A few social media accounts seem to point to a guy named David who graduated from a North Carolina high school in 2015.

He’s a very sound defender with good technical skills. I’ve thought for a couple years he could be MLS level, but historically the USL to MLS jump is rare and difficult. I’d miss seeing him turn out for NCFC but if the club is serious about development they need their homegrowns moving up the ladder.
