Weston McKennie Family
Born in Fort Lewis, Washington, McKennie lived in Kaiserslautern, Germany, from age six to nine as his father, a United States Air Force officer, was stationed at nearby Ramstein Air Base.
Weston and his older brother are avid supporters of the Washington Redskins, whereas their father is a die-hard Dallas Cowboys fan.
Growing up with that rivalry has no doubt helped McKennie grasp the importance of the Revierderby between Schalke and BVB.
