Early years

Lynn was brought to play at a local soccer youth league by his parents when he was about 4-years-old and fell in love with the sport.[3] He later prepped at Chaminade College Preparatory where he was a member of the National Honor Society and winner of the Chaminade College Preparatory Academic Scholarship. He played club soccer for St. Louis Scott Gallagher SC of the U.S. Soccer Development Academy from 2013, graduating to the Saint Louis FC academy team in 2017.[4]

Lynn played four seasons of college soccer at the University of Notre Dame for the Fighting Irish between 2018 and 2021. As a freshman he appeared in all 21 matches including three starts, scoring three goals.[4] He most notably scored the overtime game-winner against Virginia Cavaliers to send Notre Dame to the 2018 NCAA College Cup quarterfinals.[5] Lynn led the Irish in goals in each of the next three seasons including a perfect six for six on penalties during his college career.[4] In 2021, Notre Dame won the ACC Men's Soccer Tournament for the first time in team history.[6] Individually, Lynn was a First Team All-ACC selection in the 2020 and 2021 seasons and 2021 United Soccer Coaches Second Team All-American.[4]
