UPDATE: The Sounders have finalized Teves’ signing a source with knowledge of the situation said, and are likely just waiting to see if they get to announce him as a MAC Hermann Trophy winner or finalist. The award ceremony is tonight.
The Seattle Sounders are not scheduled to participate in the MLS SuperDraft until the 20th overall pick, but that doesn’t mean they’ll be shut out of signing a Top 5 talent. Dylan Teves, who led the University of Washington to the NCAA men’s soccer national title game in 2021, is expected to sign a Homegrown Player contract with the Sounders prior to next Tuesday’s draft, according to a source with knowledge of the team’s plans.
