Jordan Morris 'obviously has to' turn pro - Jurgen Klinsmann

United States manager Jurgen Klinsmann has urged Jordan Morris to turn pro after the forward led Stanford the the NCAA title on Sunday.

After impressing Klinsmann at the U.S.' pre-World Cup camp at Stanford last summer, Morris 21, became the first college player to enter a game for the U.S. since Ante Razov in 1995.

He has earned seven caps for the national team and scored in a friendly against Mexico in April, but he remained an amateur player and helped Stanford win the school's first national championship last weekend.

Morris completed his junior year and has one year of eligibility remaining in college, and he has stayed quiet on his future despite interest from professional clubs in Major League Soccer and abroad.
