Congratulations to IFX alumni Tyson Hagaman on taking the next step in his career with professional USL 1 Club Fort Wayne FC.
Originally from West Chester, Ohio, Tyson developed through a strong youth pathway in the United States, competing with Ohio Elite Soccer Academy, Kings Hammer FC, and Lakota West High School, where he built the foundations of his game as a defender.
Through IFX Soccer’s Pro Year Germany program, Tyson entered the German senior football system in 2025, competing with SVG Steinachgrund in the Landesliga. During his time in Germany, he trained 4–5 times per week in a structured European environment, gaining valuable experience at the senior level.
Following his return from Germany, Tyson has now been confirmed as part of Fort Wayne FC’s roster in USL League One, signing a special academy contract that allows him to train and compete at the professional level while maintaining his college eligibility.
A clear example of a step‑by‑step pathway built through real football environments.
