Will homegrown Bryce Washington make an MLS breakthrough in 2022?

Position: Center back

2021 USL-Championship Games: 21 matches, 21 starts for 1,711

What went right in 2021

Bryce Washington joined Atlanta United as the club’s second-ever collegiate homegrown signing. He joined the club later than most of his teammates since the club allowed him to finish his senior Spring season for the University of Pittsburgh in 2021. Washington was immediately sent down to the 2s to get up to professional speed and quickly showed the veteran defensive instincts that earned him his first professional contract.

Washington, though, had to start his professional career playing in a different defensive position than he was accustomed to.
