OPSM is proud to welcome Carson Starrett, a gifted 2011-born striker currently playing up with the 2010s at Barca Residency Academy in Arizona. Widely respected as one of the most advanced young forwards in the Southwest, Carson’s game combines elite movement, natural goal-scoring instinct, and a fearless mentality in front of goal.

Carson began his journey at Legends FC in Arizona, where his raw talent and goal-scoring ability stood out from an early age. As he continued to develop, his drive and work ethic set him apart, ultimately earning him a place at the prestigious Barca Residency Academy – one of North America’s premier development programs.

Carson was first identified by OPSM’s scouting network as a high-upside attacking player with all the traits to excel at the next level. His ability to compete and produce against older players is rare for his age, and his growth trajectory has made him a key addition to the OPSM roster.

“Carson is a forward who lives for the big moments,” says Jeff Addai, OPSM Co-Founder. “He’s composed in front of goal, understands space exceptionally well, and has that killer instinct you want in a striker. What impressed me most was his maturity and his ability to adapt and perform consistently against older competition. He’s a player we believe in deeply.”

Carson’s style of play is both efficient and expressive. He’s clinical with both feet, sharp in the box, and relentless in pressing defenders when out of possession. Beyond his goal-scoring ability, he’s also a selfless runner, constantly making intelligent movements to stretch defenses, link play, or create opportunities for teammates.

At Barca Residency Academy, Carson has embraced the high-performance environment, learning to refine his timing, decision-making, and technical execution against top-tier talent. Coaches at the academy describe him as a driven, coachable, and fearless competitor. 

“Carson has all the tools to be special. He’s not just scoring goals, he’s leading the line, adapting to tactical systems, and showing real maturity in how he approaches the game.”

With OPSM now guiding his development pathway, Carson Starrett is well-positioned to continue rising within the elite levels of American soccer. This partnership marks the next step in a promising career, one built on talent, work ethic, and an unshakable belief in what’s possible.
