Given his skillset, Cowell has all the potential to be a player that rises rapidly through the USMNT ranks. Think DeAndre Yedlin ahead of the 2014 World Cup or Jordan Morris just after it. When you have something as awe-inspiring as that level of pace, you can easily figure out the rest as you go along.
