In our three-part series ‘Freshman 15’ we will be sharing the thoughts of rookies Josh Yaro, Fabian Herbers, and Keegan Rosenberry as they reflect on their first season in MLS. Each edition will focus on one rookie as they give their five takeaways from the year, collectively creating 15 lessons the rookie class has learned this season. Our third and final edition features Keegan Rosenberry.
With one of the best performances of any rookie in the league this season, Keegan Rosenberry certainly made a name for himself in 2016. Drafted third overall in the 2016 MLS SuperDraft, Rosenberry quickly became a fixture for the Union’s defense and played every minute of every match – the only rookie to achieve that accomplishment since the league expanded to 34 matches back in 2011.
