Preston Judd

Analysis: A month after logging his 2026 season's first brace, Judd has recorded another right before the World Cup respite. Even though his current campaign includes almost as twice as fewer MLS appearances compared to those of his 2025, he has significantly improved since then. This year, Judd has logged 11 goals, almost double his previous season's scoring. The incredible efficiency indicates that once MLS action returns in July, he should not be viewed as a sleeper forward but as one of this league's best strikers.

Analysis: Judd continued his remarkable scoring streak in Wednesday's 3-2 defeat at Lumen Field, making it five consecutive MLS appearances with a goal after his deflected effort in the second half following a blocked shot that ricocheted off Jackson Ragen's heel and looped past a diving Andrew Thomas briefly leveled the match at 2-2. Judd has now scored nine goals and two assists across 13 MLS appearances this season.
