Jordan Morris – USMNT

Stanford soon gave way to the pros, with Seattle signing Morris as a Homegrown Player for the 2016 season. Morris was a winner with Stanford, finishing with a College Cup and the Herman Trophy. That carried over to his first season in MLS, with Morris winning the Rookie of the Year award and MLS Cup. After missing 2018 due to injury, Morris played a key role in Seattle winning MLS Cup in 2019. In Jan, 2021 he went on loan to Swansea City in the Championship.
