Deep Dive: Tristan Blackmon

The Vancouver Whitecaps have acquired Tristan Blackmon (25) from Charlotte F.C (after they selected him in the MLS expansion draft) for $475,000 in General Allocation Money over the course of two seasons. Blackmon can play as a right-back but will most likely slot in as a ball-playing centre-back for Vanni Sartini.

Career Summary:

Blackmon was drafted by LAFC in 2018. He played a season and a half on loan at Phoenix Rising before breaking through as a more or less full-time starter in 2019. He has made 72 total appearances mostly split between playing as a centre-back and right-back.
