From the Hubs to the Annies: Bryan Garcia DKCU Signing for 2026

The hunt for goals just got a major boost for the 2026 season. DeKalb County United is excited to officially announce the signing of Rochelle native and Rock Valley College striker Bryan Garcia.

Rochelle native and Rock Valley College striker Bryan Garcia joins DeKalb County United for 2026. Bringing clinical finishing and high-level ambition to the Annies.

A clinical finisher with deep roots in the region, Bryan—or "Mono" to his inner circle—is making the short trip from Rochelle to DeKalb to bolster the Annies' front line. After watching United’s incredible run last season and seeing several friends excel in the green and yellow, Bryan decided it was time to join the ranks at the NIU Soccer Stadium.

"I’ve seen their incredible season and my friends played for them, so I decided I’d give it a go," Bryan shared. "It’s a great chance to compete at a high level while preparing for the fall season with RVC."

Bryan’s journey to DKCU is defined by a "dedicated and hardworking" approach, though he admits his secret to peak performance involves a lot of sleep when he's off the pitch. When he isn't finding the back of the net, he’s likely taking a day trip to explore downtown Chicago or working on his personal organization—specifically by mastering a physical calendar to keep his busy schedule on track.

"I’ve seen their incredible season and my friends played for them so I decided I’d give it a go."

A lifelong fan of FC Barcelona, Bryan brings that same appreciation for technical, high-octane soccer to DeKalb. Fans can expect a striker who leaves everything on the field, fueled by the lifelong friendships he’s built through the game and a consistent diet of Chick-fil-A.

Welcome to the frontline, Bryan!
