Biros is the leading scorer on the Crew’s Under-16 Development Academy. He’s nabbed seven goals in 18 appearances, and has made one start for the Under-18 team. He was a member of this year’s Crew SC Academy Generation adidas Cup squad for the 2016-17 season.

The midfielder was recently joined by Carlos Ritaccio as the two verbal commitments for Akron’s 2018 recruiting class.
