Orlando native and NIU defender Isabella Prescod signs with DeKalb County United for 2026. Bringing Sunshine State speed and Division I grit to the Annies' backline.

Having previously suited up for the ladies, "Izzy" brings more than just Division I talent to the pitch—she brings continuity and a deep understanding of the United culture. Her ability to lock down the flanks as an outside back while providing an explosive outlet for the attack has made her a fan favorite at the NIU Soccer Stadium.

For Izzy, the decision to return to the green and yellow was all about the environment. "I chose DKCU for the community and the competition," she noted. It’s that exact combination—playing at a high level while being backed by the best fans in the region—that keeps elite players like Izzy coming back to DeKalb.

Izzy’s "Fireball" energy isn't just a pre-game song choice; it’s a reflection of her playstyle. Fans can expect that same Sunshine State heat and relentless work rate they remember from her previous stints with the club. Whether she's making a last-ditch tackle or flying forward on an overlapping run, Izzy is a game-changer for the Annies.

Welcome back home, Izzy!
