In this episode of Make City Make Spence, Sean, Garret, and Adam preview the upcoming season for the Detroit City FC men’s professional side. The discussion highlights key players to watch in 2026, expectations for the squad, and storylines surrounding the team heading into the new campaign.

The group also previews the upcoming match against Brooklyn FC, offers season predictions, and reacts to the club’s new kits as Detroit City prepares for another year in the USL Championship.

In this episode of Make City Make Spence, Sean and Adam dig into Detroit City FC’s latest attacking additions, breaking down what the signings of Tabort Etaka Preston and Chisom Egbuchulam mean for the men’s first team and, more importantly, what they mean for Ben Morris. Is this added depth, competition, or a shift in direction?

Sean also floats another name to keep an eye on as the roster continues to take shape.

The conversation moves to Connor Rutz and where he fits into the current plans, plus a look at what a fully healthy Laye Diop could bring to the midfield if things finally click. To wrap it up, they examine the club’s decision to move forward with a sporting director by committee structure and what that approach says about how Detroit City FC is building its future.

Roster moves, tactical implications, and the bigger picture for Le Rouge.
