Youth and development

Cannon played high school soccer at Grapevine Faith Christian School in Grapevine, Texas, coached by Matt McKinney. During his freshman year Grapevine Faith won the TAPPS Division 2 Texas state championship in boys' soccer. In high school Cannon played for the FC Dallas academy team. Cannon won back-to-back national championships for FC Dallas's academy before joining University of California, Los Angeles.[2]

Cannon played one year of college soccer at the University of California, Los Angeles in 2016, making 20 appearances for the Bruins.[3] He was one of three players and the only freshman to appear in and start every match for the Bruins.[2] Further, he finished the year having played 1,753 minutes; playing the third most minutes on the team.[2]

Professional career

FC Dallas

Cannon left college and signed a homegrown player contract with FC Dallas on December 22, 2016.[4] He was the 18th homegrown player in Dallas's history.[2]

On June 14, 2017, he made his professional debut when he started in a 2–1 win over Tulsa Roughnecks in the Lamar Hunt U.S. Open Cup.[5] Cannon made his MLS debut for the club on September 2, in a 2–2 tie at home to the New York Red Bulls, as an added-time substitute for Michael Barrios.[6]

In the 2018 season, Cannon cemented his place as a regular starter for the team.[7] He made his first start for the team in their first game of the season, a 1–1 tie at home to Real Salt Lake on March 4.[7] He totalled 34 appearances,[6] and scored once to open a 2–2 tie against Vancouver Whitecaps FC at the Toyota Stadium on May 19.[8]

Cannon played 29 games for Dallas in the 2019 season.[6] He scored two goals for the team, a career high for the defender.[6]

Amidst transfer speculation, Cannon signed a new, four-year contract with a team option with the team in March 2020.[9] He started the first two games of the season before the league went on hiatus due to the COVID-19 pandemic.[7] His team did not take part in the subsequent season restart, MLS is Back Tournament, being forced to withdraw after ten players and one staff member tested positive for coronavirus.[10]

Boavista

On September 9, 2020, FC Dallas announced that they had reached an agreement with Portuguese side Boavista F.C. for the transfer of Cannon in a deal worth up to $3.5 million, along with a 25–50% sell-on fee.[11][12] He debuted for Boavista in the team's 2020–21 Primeira Liga opener against C.D. Nacional; the game ended in a 3–3 draw.[13]

Cannon was sent off for the first time as a professional on November 5, 2021 in the 58th minute of a 5–2 home loss to F.C. Famalicão, for a foul on Iván Jaime.[14]

International career

On October 16, 2018, Cannon made his first senior appearance for the United States men's national soccer team in a friendly against Peru, which finished 1–1.[15] He made the cut for the 2019 CONCACAF Gold Cup, due to Tyler Adams's injury,[16] and played four matches including the 1–0 final loss to Mexico.[17]

Cannon faced strong competition at right-back from DeAndre Yedlin and Sergiño Dest.[18][19] On June 6, 2021 he came on as a substitute for the former for the second half of extra time, as the United States defeated Mexico 3–2 in the CONCACAF Nations League final.[20] Three days later, he scored his first senior international goal in a 4–0 friendly win over Costa Rica at the Rio Tinto Stadium.[21] He made four appearances at the 2021 CONCACAF Gold Cup, as second-choice to Shaq Moore and starting only in the 1–0 win over Mexico in the final on August 1.[22]

Personal life

Cannon is the grandson of atmospheric scientist Dr. Warren Washington.[23] His step-sister, Bianca Smith, is a professional baseball coach.[24]

Cannon married his wife, Kendall, in April 2020.[25]

On August 12, 2020, Cannon spoke out against Dallas fans for booing and throwing a bottle at the players before a 0–1 loss against Nashville SC because the players knelt during the national anthem in solidarity of the Black Lives Matter movement, calling the fans' actions "disgusting".[26] He subsequently received racist comments and death threats.[27]
