TUKWILA, Wash. – Things are finally slowing down for Jordan Morris.
The Seattle Sounders rookie forward – who also happens to be one of the most hyped Homegrown signings in MLS history – said as much after scoring twice in his team’s 4-2 victory over the LA Galaxy at StubHub Center last Sunday. The goals bumped his total on the season up to 12, an MLS rookie record for an American-born player.
But to hear Sounders captain Brad Evans tell it, any early-season handwringing about his young teammate’s sometimes-erratic finishing or criticisms over not using his left foot were simply overblown narratives to begin with.
