Elite Collegiate Talent Joins USL2 Top-Level Development Squad for 2025 Campaign


ATLANTA, GA – April 23, 2025 — SSA Swarm is thrilled to unveil the latest additions to our USL League Two (USL2) roster, featuring standout players from top collegiate programs and professional academies across North America. As the pinnacle of our development platform, USL2 at SSA Swarm offers a crucial stepping stone for elite talent aiming to go pro—and this summer, the talent pool is deeper and more dynamic than ever.


USL2 is recognized nationally as the premier league for college-aged players on the path to professional soccer. It bridges the gap between elite youth development and the professional ranks, offering high-level competition and unmatched exposure.

Fans, mark your calendars! With matches scheduled for May, June, and July, the SSA Swarm promises thrilling soccer, fierce competition, and a glimpse of the next generation of stars—all right here in our backyard.


Meet the New Faces of SSA Swarm’s USL2 Squad:


  • Alex Wharton – A proud SSA Academy product and current NCAA Division I standout at Syracuse University, Wharton returns home to electrify the midfield with his pace, vision, and technical flair.

  • Michael Howard – A top-tier defender from Atlanta United’s Academy and University of Virginia, Howard brings experience, poise, and a professional mentality that will anchor our back line.

  • Nash Skoglund – Hailing from the South Carolina Gamecocks, Skoglund’s athleticism and versatility as a Goalkeeper make him one to watch this summer.

  • Villads Landsberg – Representing the SMU Mustangs, one of the strongest programs in NCAA Division I soccer, Landsberg adds European-style playmaking and elite composure in the attacking third.

“Each of these signings reflects the core mission of SSA Swarm: to develop world-class talent through top-level competition,” said Jack Collison, SSA Swarm USL2 Head Coach. “These players are not just here to compete—they’re here to win, inspire, and represent the future of SSA Swarm."


Whether you're a diehard soccer fan, a youth player looking to learn from the best, or just looking for a great family night out, USL2 matches at SSA Swarm this summer will deliver can’t-miss action.
