The Red Bulls’ third Home Grown player signing, Kassel chose to forego his senior year at the University of Maryland to sign with the Red Bull. A central midfield player with excellent attacking abilities, Kassel is one of the top players to graduate from the Red Bulls Academy. The club is excited about where Kassel can take his game in 2011 in his first year with the first team.

Es el tercer jugador desarrollado por Red Bulls en ser contratado. Decidió renunciar a su último año en la Universidad de Maryland para firmar con Nueva York. Mediocampista con gran habilidad para sumarse al ataque, es uno de los mejores jugadores que se han graduado en la Academia Red Bull. El club está muy entusiasmado en contar con su aporte para el 2011, su primer año con el equipo principal.
