Max Arfsten grew up in Fresno, California and starred at UC Davis, where he was Big West Offensive Player of the Year, before Columbus Crew took him in the 2023 MLS SuperDraft. He scored on his MLS debut, won the 2023 MLS Cup and the 2024 Leagues Cup, and converted to a dynamic left wing-back. Called up in 2025, he scored his first international goal at that summer's Gold Cup, earning a place as an attacking option down the left.
- Two-footed and cites Neymar as his inspiration
- Won the 2023 MLS Cup and 2024 Leagues Cup with Columbus Crew
- Scored his first USMNT goal at the 2025 Gold Cup
