A creative playmaker with exceptional vision, speed and ball placement, Dominguez possesses the versatility to influence a match from multiple positions and consistently create opportunities in the attacking third. Her combination of technical ability and attacking instincts has helped establish Dominguez as a player to watch within the 2028 class. Whether operating through the midfield or pushing higher as a forward, she brings the ability to stretch defenses, find teammates and make plays in dangerous areas of the field. Dominguez recently added a major accomplishment to her résumé, helping Soles FC 09G capture the U17 US Soccer Club National Cup Championship in Denver, Colorado, in July 2026. Competing on a national stage against elite competition provided another opportunity for the young playmaker to showcase her abilities and championship mentality. Her development and continued success have also earned her the opportunity to take the next step at the collegiate level. Dominguez is committed to UTEP, giving the Miners a talented attacking player from the Borderland with significant room to continue developing her game.

"Brycen Booth — El Dorado High School Brycen Booth is a standout 2027 quarterback at El Dorado High School in El Paso, Texas, and one of the Borderland’s premier returning signal-callers. At 6-foot-3, Booth combines size, athleticism and playmaking ability with the experience of a three-year varsity starter. Booth enjoyed a breakout junior campaign in 2025, helping lead the Aztecs to a 10-2 overall record, a District 1-5A championship and a bi-district championship. His performance earned him District 1-5A Offensive MVP honors and established him as one of the top quarterbacks in the region. Statistically, Booth accounted for 1,948 passing yards and 27 touchdown passes during the 2025 season, while adding 405 rushing yards to finish with more than 2,300 total yards. What makes Booth particularly intriguing is his ability to keep defenses off balance. Scouting evaluations describe him as a quarterback with deceptive running ability who can create plays beyond the designed offense. Now entering his senior season, Booth returns as the veteran leader of an El Dorado program that has established itself as one of El Paso's rising football powers. With his combination of size, experience, production and dual-threat ability, the 2027 QB is firmly on the radar as a player to watch throughout the 2026 season.
