January’s turning out to be quite the month for Seattle Sounders Homegrown Players.
A year ago, the Sounders made a splash big enough to spy from space when they announced the signing of former academy star Jordan Morris. A year later, Morris is now working his way through his first professional offseason with an MLS Rookie of the Year trophy and an MLS Cup in his cabinet. Signing Homegrowns is perhaps an inexact science, but the front office nailed the alchemy in that formula.
A year later and we now have two more Homegrowns to add to the pile.
