A local athlete is receiving national recognition from U.S. Soccer.

U.S. Soccer has announced the nominees for its 2025 Extended National Teams (ENT) Player of the Year awards, and local power soccer standout Jordan Dickey has been named one of three finalists for Power Soccer Player of the Year. The award honors top performers across U.S. Soccer’s extended national team programs and highlights excellence in alternative and adaptive forms of the game.

Dickey, who serves as a co-captain for the U.S. Power National Team, was instrumental in the team’s success during the 2025 season. The Power NT captured the 2025 APFC America’s Cup championship and secured qualification for the 2026 FIPFA Powerchair Football World Cup, milestones in which Dickey played a central role.

Primarily deployed as the starting goalkeeper, Dickey teamed with Nathan Mayer to help the U.S. post seven consecutive clean sheets at the America’s Cup. In addition to his defensive impact, Dickey contributed offensively with five goals and two assists through his out-court play, underscoring his versatility and leadership on the floor.

Joining Dickey as finalists are fellow co-captain Riley Johnson, a center who led the team with eight goals in 2025, and striker Pete Winslow, who paced the squad with nine assists. Johnson’s seven goals at the America’s Cup were the most in the tournament, including decisive game-winners in the semifinal win over Uruguay and the championship victory against Argentina. Winslow played a key role in the final as well, delivering the assist on the indirect free kick that resulted in the title-clinching goal.

Award winners are determined by a weighted voting process that includes current ENT players, U.S. Soccer leadership, coaches and staff, as well as fans. The voting breakdown includes:

  • 45 percent from players who earned an ENT cap in 2025

  • 20 percent from ENT players voting in other categories

  • 20 percent from the U.S. Soccer Board of Directors, Athletes’ Council, and ENT coaches and staff

  • 15 percent from a fan vote conducted at ussoccer.com

Fan voting is now open and runs through Friday, December 19, at 11:59 p.m. ET. Winners of the 2025 Extended National Teams Player of the Year awards will be announced in January 2026.

For Dickey, the nomination represents both personal recognition and a spotlight on the continued growth of power soccer and adaptive athletics at the national level.
