Youth, college, and amateur

Yedlin was born and raised in Seattle, Washington.[4] Yedlin began playing soccer at age four and learned while watching his uncle from the sideline.

On January 11, 2013, after two seasons with Akron, Yedlin signed with Seattle Sounders FC as the club's first homegrown player.[5][11][12][3] He made his debut on March 2 in a 1–0 home defeat to the Montreal Impact.[13] Yedlin was named to the MLS Team of the Week for his performance, becoming the first rookie to earn the honor in his professional debut.[14] On March 12 he scored his first professional goal for the club in a 3–1 win against Tigres in the second leg of the Sounders 3–2 CONCACAF Champions League quarterfinal aggregate victory.

On July 15, Yedlin was named to the MLS All-Star team for their match against Roma on July 31, making him the first rookie to be named to the All-Star team since 2005 when Michael Parkhurst was selected during his rookie season.[15] Yedlin was ranked 3rd among MLS players under the age of 24 in 2013, according to MLSSoccer.com.[16]

Yedlin earned his first call up to the senior men's national team on January 3, 2014.[36] He made his first appearance with the senior team on February 1, 2014, in a friendly against South Korea.[37]

Yedlin was included on the U.S. final 23-man roster for the 2014 FIFA World Cup. He made his World Cup debut against Portugal, coming on as a late second-half substitute. He helped set up Sounders teammate Clint Dempsey's late goal which put the U.S. up 2–1. He also came on late in the next game, a 1–0 loss v. Germany; his deep cross to Dempsey was headed off target. In the round of 16 match against Belgium, Yedlin came on as a substitute for the injured Fabian Johnson.[38]

In the 2016 Copa America Centenario, Yedlin received a second yellow card (and subsequent red) in a match against Paraguay.[39]

On November 9, 2022, Yedlin was called up to the final 26-man squad for the 2022 FIFA World Cup, being the only U.S. player to play in both the 2014 and 2022 FIFA World Cups.[40]

Personal life

Yedlin is one-quarter black, one-quarter Native American and half-Latvian.[41] Yedlin and his mother are Jewish.[42][43][44][45] Yedlin is very close with his mother, Rebecca Yedlin, who had him when she was very young and is now a college sports instructor; his father has never been part of his life.[4][44] He was raised by his maternal grandfather, Ira Nathan Yedlin, and step-grandmother, Vicki Walton.[46][4] Yedlin has a sister Jenea who is three years younger than he is.[47]

Seattle Sounders youth director Darren Sawatzky first saw him play at age 11 and later said that Yedlin was "an offensive player at the time, he was tricky, he had explosiveness and could run for days." Seattle Sounders FC sporting director Chris Henderson said of Yedlin: "DeAndre has great quickness and speed. He reads the game well, keeps possession, but he's able to attack the flank and get crosses in."[48]

In May 2021, Yedlin joined the ownership group of USL Championship club San Diego Loyal SC.[49]
