Sporting KC Waives Freeman and Barber

Sporting Kansas City announced that forwards Grayson Barber and Tyler Freeman were waived.

Freeman was signed in 2018 to a Homegrown contract when he was just 15 years old, making him the second-youngest player in club history. He first joined Sporting KC’s Academy in 2014 at age 11 and impressed at each level in the Academy. Freeman also represented the United States with the U-14, U-16 and U-17 national teams.

Freeman, played 35 USL Championship matches for Sporting KC II but was not able to stake claim to a regular starting spot. SKC had loaned the 19-year-old to German side Karlsruher FC’s U-19 team last year where he made four appearances.
