José Francisco Cevallos junior, who was born into a footballing family in the largest city in Ecuador at the beginning of 1995 and named after his father of the same name, began his active career as a footballer at a young age, when at first he probably belonged exclusively to his home club Panamá Sporting Club . After playing a few more games in the club's U-12 team in 2007, he left this at the turn of the year 2008 and instead switched to the junior division of the successful capital city club LDU Quito , where he quickly found his way through the various youth division, but in his first year was mainly used in the U-14 team by bringing it to 13 championship appearances. Although he still appeared in the club's U-14 squad in 2009, the young offensive player came to 30 appearances in the U-16 team this year, as well as a league game in the U-18 squad, although he was at that time was once 14 years old. As a 15-year-old, he made it into the professional squad of the Ecuadorian first division team for the first time, mainly through his father, who let his career end at the club and brought his son to the club in 2008, and sat in three from October to December 2010 Serie A league games on the bench. He was also used in twelve games of the U-18 team and in 21 games of the reserve squad (the U-19 and U-20) that year.

After LDU Quito was celebrated as Ecuadorian champions in 2010 , José Francisco Cevallos Enríquez came to his first appearances in men's football in the following game year 2011 , although he was still active in the club's various youth teams. The young midfielder made his professional debut about two weeks after his 16th birthday when he played from the start in the 1-0 away defeat against Centro Deportivo Olmedo and was replaced at half-time by the multiple international Fernando Hidalgo . In his second outing a week later, Cevallos met in a clear 3-0 win over record champions Barcelona SC Guayaquil just before the break to take his team 2-0 up. So far (as of October 2, 2011) José Francisco Cevallos Enríquez has been used in eight league games, sat on the bench two more times without use and scored one goal. In all of his missions he acted from the beginning and was only replaced in the course of the game. In addition, so far in 2011 he has played a championship game for the club's U-16 team, as well as another eight league games for the reserve team in the U-19 league.

In January 2013, the Italian record champions Juventus Turin announced Cevallos' commitment. The Ecuadorian was loaned out and a purchase option agreed.

Since 2011, Cevallos has been an integral part of the Ecuadorian U-17 national team , where he has been a regular player in the team's attack line from the start and is also very successful as a goalscorer. The son of the legendary Ecuadorian team goalkeeper, who is best known in his home country by the nickname Las Manos de Ecuador ( dt : The Hands of Ecuador ), has made at least eleven international appearances and six goals for his homeland in U-17 dress. About the U-17 football South American championship , which was held in 2011 in his own country, in which Cevallos made seven appearances and scored one goal in each of the last three games, as well as sat on the bench in two more matches without being used, Ecuador's U-17 qualified fourth to take part in the 2011 U-17 World Cup in Mexico . The offspring of the only size goalkeeper also took part in this and was used in all four matches of his team. The Ecuadorians made it through the group stage to the round of 16, where they lost 2-0 to the Brazilians of the same age and so were eliminated from the competition early on. Cevallos scored one goal each in a 2-1 win over Panama and a 2-0 win over Burkina Faso.
