Is Zimmerman our only overage player?

Luna is not a locked in starter at KC he is splitting time with another dual nat Fidel something.

Luna has been one of the top 5 performers through the U23 (and previously U20) cycle. He’s just got that sauce that others in the pool don’t. Plus, he’s started the last four club games and scored in two. Also I think you mean RSL.
Making this even more odd is that Tom Bogert is reporting RSL were expecting him to be called up, so maybe this is a coach’s decision. Odd.
Surprisingly yes. I thought they might bring Vasquez. Also Pepi (who is age eligible) did some promo material with the Olympics jersey so that adds another riddle.
Doug McIntyre is now reporting Miles Robinson may make the Olympics roster as an overage player.

Pepi probably isn't in this camp because of the Copa prelim roster. I bet he'll be on the Olympic squad.
Hopefully Luna finds a way in

Coach Mitrovic is saying some players who weren’t called up to the prelim camp might still make the Olympic team. So maybe there’s a chance for Luna…

Just stumbled on a YT feed of a friendly against Japan. Down 1-0 to begin the 2H, both teams have had some decent chances, Zimmerman was lucky not to get a red for a foul on the edge of the box following a bad pass back from Booth.
Also, Japan’s GK:

Are teams still allowed to bring 3 over age 23 players ?

We had zero shots on goal in our last friendly before the Olympics
Caveats: the US team has had only a week together while Japan has had about 40(!) days, and we were missing several starters and had players out of position. We still looked like dogshit/Japan look really good. Their passing and pressing was so effective it’s not even funny. First goal was a questionable hand ball (possibly outside the box) but honestly we were on the back foot the entire game. Zimmerman would have had a red for DOGSO if this was a competitive game. We beat this team 4-1 back in October but I’m not sure how the rosters compared.
Tomkinson was bad, probably going to go with Miles Robinson or Jalen Neal for the tournament if I had to guess. Busio has a hamstring injury and Morris flew to England to complete a transfer to Middlesbrough. Gomez played out of position, but frankly has never been that impressive. It’s still insane to me that Luna wasn’t on this roster. Crossing my fingers he makes the Olympics.

Yes. Zimmerman was the only one on this roster though.
