Career

High School and College

Wynne decided to pursue an athletic career of his own as early as age six, choosing soccer over his father's sport, baseball.[1] He attended Poway High School in Poway, California and was a letterman in soccer and track. Wynne in his senior year of high school ran a 10.39 in a 100 meters, which is record for professional soccer players. Wynne played two years of college soccer at UCLA, where he was named first team All-American in 2005.

Professional

Wynne was the first pick at the 2006 MLS SuperDraft, with the MetroStars (later re-named as New York Red Bulls) trading up to receive the selection. He subsequently signed a Generation adidas contract with the league.

Known for his blazing speed — he is considered one of the fastest players in the league[2] — Wynne was initially considered too unpolished to play in the 3-5-2 system favored by then-coach Mo Johnston, but as Bruce Arena succeeded to the coaching position, Wynne began starting regularly in the first team's back line.

Wynne was traded to Toronto FC in April 2007 [3] where he continued to impress, becoming a firm favorite amongst the fans. He scored his first career MLS goal in a game against Houston Dynamo on September 27, 2008.

On March 25, 2010, Wynne was traded to the Colorado Rapids in exchange for Nick LaBrocca and a 3rd round pick in the 2011 MLS SuperDraft. After a successful season with Colorado in which he converted from Right Back to Center Back, the team won the MLS Cup 2010 - a game which took place at BMO Field in Toronto, Wynne's former home.

International

Wynne has played for various youth United States national teams, and was part of the Under-20 team at the 2005 World Youth Championship. He earned his first senior cap for the United States in the 2007 Copa America against Argentina on 28 June 2007. Wynne was an integral part of the U-23 side that earned qualification to the Beijing Olympics, which also included, then Toronto FC teammate, Maurice Edu.

Wynne also was a starter on the U.S. Men's 2008 Olympic soccer team. Wynne received his second cap for the senior team on January 24, 2009, against Sweden, drawing a penalty that Sacha Kljestan converted.

Personal

Wynne is the son of former Major League Baseball player Marvell Wynne. In the soccer video game FIFA 12, he is rated as the fastest center back in the world, and joint fastest player in the world.
