After signing Machop Chol prior to the start of the 2021 season, Atlanta United once again dipped into their collegiate player pool to make Bryce Washington the 11th Homegrown signing, 2nd to return from college, and the 2nd to return from Atlanta’s original U-18s team.
One thing that is readily apparent in Atlanta’s recent homegrown signings is the prioritization of high-character individuals. Even in his one season with the academy, Washington’s leadership was central to the early success of the program. He was there not only to be a positive influence on his teammates but also on the younger academy players who shared the training fields with him.
