This one might not fit, as it's not entirely clear he's a Yank (only because he was born in Colombia). Victor Parra was at least partially raised in Rhode Island and went to San Jose State via Monroe College; he's now apparently signed with a second-division Portuguese club. In early December, former San José State University men’s soccer player Victor Parra flew across the Atlantic Ocean having just fulfilled his lifelong dream of signing a professional soccer contract with S.C. Freamunde of Portugal. It was about to get better even in a year in which he traveled to England chaperoning a youth soccer team and stepping foot on the pitch alongside world’s best soccer player Lionel Messi. Only he did not know what was waiting for him back home. ... Raised by Janet Gutierrez, a single mother, in Medellin, Colombia, Parra along with his two older sisters immigrated to Central Falls, Rhode Island, a tough but affordable neighborhood where immigrants from many of the Latin American countries go to try to make an opportunity. ... Before signing his first pro contract with S.C. Freamunde, Parra tried out with clubs in Holland, Sweden and Spain. http://www.sjsuspartans.com/sports/m-soccer/spec-rel/121516aaf.html He was also named valedictorian of the school's Department of Hospitality Management.
