Weston James Earl McKennie (born August 28, 1998) is an American soccer player who plays as a midfielder for German club Schalke 04 and the United States men's national soccer team.
Weston McKennie grew up in Texas but spent 3 years in Kaiserslautern, Germany between the ages of 6 and 9 and started playing soccer for the local club FC Phönix Otterbach in 2004 before moving back to the United States.
In February 2016, McKennie signed a National Letter of Intent to play for the University of Virginia, but he subsequently turned down the scholarship offer to play for the Cavaliers, and instead sought to go pro.
In July 2016 McKennie rejected the chance to sign a Homegrown Player contract with Dallas. He joined German Bundesliga side FC Schalke 04 in August 2016.
After spending less than a year with Schalke's academy team, McKennie was promoted to the first-team squad in May 2017. He made his professional debut on May 20, 2017, as a 77th-minute substitute during a 1–1 draw with FC Ingolstadt 04. This was his only appearance during the 2016–17 season. McKennie made his first start in September 2017 and signed a five-year contract shortly after. He finished the 2017–18 season with 25 appearances in all competitions.
