Kenan Hot is a 21-year-old professional midfielder from Lincroft, New Jersey, competing for Austin FC II in MLS NEXT Pro. On March 6, 2026, he signed a two-year guaranteed contract with an option through 2028.
He delivered a historic breakout 2025 season at Duke University, leading all Blue Devils scorers with 8 goals and 4 assists—a combined output nearly seven times greater than his previous three seasons. He earned First Team All-ACC honors, the only Duke player on that roster, and was named to the MAC Hermann Trophy watchlist.
What makes Hot unique is his rare skill set for a midfielder: elite goal-scoring ability combined with genuine playmaking range. Previously selected in the MLS SuperDraft 32nd overall by Inter Miami CF (December 2025), Hot developed through the NY Red Bulls Academy and gained professional experience with Hartford Athletic and NY Red Bulls II. He has represented the USA at U-15 national team level.
