The18’s mission to uncover America’s Sleeper Striker shall continue this fall! We’re in search of the hidden talents on college campuses who may not play D1 soccer but definitely have the vertical and precision to turn heads.
“Grown in America: Play Fueled by Peanuts” is a nationwide campaign that shines a spotlight on the rising stars of soccer – young athletes from across the country who are putting in the work, powering their performance, and doing it all with fuel that’s as American as the game is global: peanuts.
As part of The18’s campus tour with the National Peanut Board, we’re connecting with college players to hear their stories, get their takes on the sport, and find out how they stay game-day ready.

The18 is on a mission to uncover America’s Sleeper Striker — the hidden talents on college campuses who may not play D1 soccer but definitely have the vertical and precision to turn heads.
This spring, that search launched at UMass, where The18 partnered with the National Peanut Board as part of its broader Health Nut Club campaign — a nationwide effort celebrating the role peanuts play in fueling healthy, active lifestyles.
