SAN JOSE, Calif. - San Jose Earthquakes goalkeeper JT Marcinkowski has been called to the U.S. U-23 National Team training camp in Herriman, Utah from June 9-16.

Marcinkowski, 21, signed a Homegrown Player contract with the club ahead of the 2018 season following three years at Georgetown University. He became the third product of the Quakes Academy to sign with the First Team following Tommy Thompson (2014) and Nick Lima (2017). During his rookie season, Marcinkowski started the final five matches of the MLS regular season, while also starting 24 games on loan with San Jose's USL affiliate Reno 1868 FC. His strong season in USL led him to be named Reno's Rookie of the Year.

After recording 13 shutouts in 24 appearances between the U-14 and U-18 levels, Marcinkowski competed for the U.S. U-20s at the 2017 CONCACAF U-20 Championship in Costa Rica and subsequent 2017 FIFA U-20 World Cup in South Korea.

The Alamo, California native received his first U.S. U-23 call up last March for friendlies against Egypt and the Netherlands, keeping a clean sheet against the latter.

Yueill, 21, was selected by the Earthquakes with the sixth overall pick in the 2017 MLS SuperDraft after just two years at UCLA. He has made 47 total appearances for San Jose since, tallying four assists and scoring one goal.

Yueill has previously represented the U.S. at the U-18, U-20, and senior levels. He received his first cap and start for the senior side against Jamaica on June 5.
