Call him Paltzer. Call him fungusryry (if you're bold). Either way, he’s now officially an Annie.

We’re hyped to announce Ryan Paltzer as the latest DKCU 2025 player signing – a midfielder from Naperville, IL who’s ready to bring control, class, and some serious Arsenal-inspired flair to our squad.
Ryan is currently playing college ball at Ripon College, where he’s sharpening his skills on the field and stacking up the kind of experience that fits perfectly into DKCU’s fast-paced, high-energy midfield style.
When asked why DKCU?, Ryan kept it real:
“I wanted to put myself in a good environment, where I know I can grow as a player and a person.”
Good vibes only. Growth mindset activated. We like it.
Off the Pitch:
Nickname? His last name... or if you’re brave, fungusryry.
Team supported? Arsenal. (The good kind of chaos.)
Childhood dream? Watching a Premier League game in person – and we fully believe he’ll make that happen.
At 80? Family over everything.
What’s next? Training, soccer, and… becoming a doctor. Casual.
Ambition or comfort? Ambition.F
Fast food or health food? Health food.
Big party or small gathering? Small gathering.
Coke or Pepsi? Pepsi. We don’t judge (out loud).
With sharp passes and a sharper mind, Paltzer’s set to lock down the midfield and lead by example. From the classroom to the pitch to (maybe) your local hospital someday, this guy’s going places – and we’re glad one of those places is right here in DeKalb County.
Let’s go, Ryan.
