Justin Solomon played two seasons with the Seattle Sounders Academy, their first two. Many of his teammates you know — DeAndre Yedlin, Sean (Ugo) Okoli, Darwin Jones, Ryan Herman, Jamael Cox, Jordan Schweitzer, Michael Gallagher, Aaron Kovar, Troy Peterson, Chase Hanson and Solomon himself all had professional careers of some length out of that group.
Solomon’s experiences from 2010-12 are similar to others from Clark County, WA, which was part of the Sounders catchment prior to the Timbers starting their Academy system.
