FC Dallas U17 midfielder Diego Letayf has been picked to take part in a Mexico U17 camp this week. Letayf was in Mexico already with the FC Dallas Academy and was likey spotted playing for the FC Dallas U19s against the Mexico U18 side.

With U19 captain Edwin Cerrillo in Frisco with the MLS side, Letayf has been filling in with the U19s some. Something he will probably continue to do if Cerrillo signs a Homegrown contract with FC Dallas or a contract with North Texas SC.

Letayf is a smooth defensive mid who controls the pace of the game and clogs the opposition lanes with quality defensive positioning rather than aggressive tackling. The 16-year-old Letayf, born in Monterrey, Mexico, has been in the United States for 9 years.
