Head Coach Ryan Martin, said. "He has the ability to create goals with his strength and composure on the field. Elvis is a physically gifted forward who we found in the D.C. United U-23 Academy program. He is powerful and can hold the ball well. He will be a great addition to the team."

Cerritos rejoins D.C. United after leaving the academy in January of 2019 to join Club de Futbol Pachuca U-20 youth team, a club that plays in Mexico. Cerritos is from Bowie, Md., and joined the D.C. United Academy in 2015.
