We’re adding serious size and skill to our back line.

Standing at 6’5″, Cole Gerstenberger is a dominant center back with a proven record of success. A three-time First Team All-State selection in high school and a product of Lou Fusz, he went on to anchor the defense at McKendree University for four years — winning a GLVC title in 2019 and earning Team All-Conference honors along the way.

Most recently, Gerstenberger featured for Midwest Premier League rivals, AFC Columbia, continuing to bring presence, leadership, and physicality to the pitch.

Welcome to the squad, Cole Gerstenberger — let’s lock it down!
