    I spoke to Varese. They confirmed he holds US/French citizenship. He's a '96.
    He actually plays for the "Berretti" team, one level below the Primavera, where he's listed as "midfelder" (attacking, they tell me).
    Varese 1910 - Rosters

    Transfermarkt and FuPa list a '96 GK named Maurice Braun at Hessen Kassel as a Yank. I've e-mailed the club in search of more info.

    Soccer-Talents now also says LSC's '95 GK Anthony Hannemann is German-American.

    Anyone manage to find a birth year for this guy? I see two possible candidates:
    1) There's a Steven Benitez born in 1987 who is listed as having played in one of Florida's top men's leagues
    2) There's an Andrew Steven Benitez born in 1996 who is a former LA Galaxy academy player, whose nationality is listed on the USSDA website as "United States," and who has El Salvador U-17 caps.

    Soccerway lists him as a 1991 from New Jersey.

    <edit>

    Ok, it looks like this twitter account "Estevin Benitez" is him. The official UES account follows him, he talks about playing and he definitely has family in New Jersey. I think this tweet tells us what we really need to know:

    362597044763893761 is not a valid tweet id

    A '95 named Chase Reichenberg, who according to Transfermarkt is German-American and currently at VfB Luebeck, has indeed played with their U19s this month.

    http://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/en/chase-reichenberg/profil/spieler_196410.html

    http://www.vfb-luebeck.de/newsarticle/items/u19-punktet-auch-in-hannover.html

    http://www.vfb-luebeck.de/newsarticle/items/u19-erkaempft-22-gegen-hansa-rostock.html

    He's not on that team's roster page, so he might have moved there midseason or something.

    I sent the club an e-mail in hopes of finding more info.
