On selecting Colton Storm with the 14th pick of the 2017 MLS SuperDraft:
“He’s a very good one-v-one defender as an outside back. He anticipates situations in the game really well and the other thing is I know where he comes from – close to where I kind of grew up, same kind of area – I kind of know his background, I had a great interview with him, seen him play, and he’s someone who can grow within our club for sure.
