Darius Randell is the youngest player in Minnesota United history to score a goal for the top team.
The 17-year-old made his MLS debut in the 4 -2 loss to San Diego at Allianz Field on June 14 .
Randell signed a homegrown contract with the Loons through 2026 .
The Loons have totaled only four homegrown players across nine MLS seasons.
Randell has made it to the MLS team, but he's still a teenager living at home with his mother in St. Michael .
Before his game-winning goal in the Open Cup , Randell wasn't doing well in school and was told if he didn't improve in the classroom, he wasn't going to play.
He texted Anne Moelk , the club’s head of player well-being, to thank her for making him go to his tutoring lessons.
