Rimando’s Replacment: The case for David Ochoa

Real Salt Lake’s 2019 campaign is officially over. So is the career of the long-standing starting goalkeeper for Real Salt Lake, Nick Rimando.

At some point, the club is going to have to find a replacement for Rimando, if that’s even possible. But what if we already have a guy?

That person? David Ochoa.

I know. It sounds crazy. Hear me out.

Ochoa, who is just 18 years old, grew up playing for the RSL Academy. He’s the pinnacle of an academy kid. Ochoa has worked his way up from the U15’s to the first team.
