D.C. United 2016 Countdown: 20 days - Can Jalen Robinson break through in 2016?

Jalen Robinson's third season as a professional might determine his future with D.C. United, as the defender has still yet to play in a MLS game

D.C. United's seventh homegrown signing, Jalen Robinson, enters his third professional season at a crossroads as a player. Having signed his first professional contract in January of 2014, Robinson, a defender capable of playing on the right or in the center, has appeared in 8 games for the Black-and-Red, never though in a MLS game.

Instead, he has spent a majority of his time in USL with the Richmond Kickers and Arizona United SC, while appearing in 3 US Open Cup games, and 5 CONCACAF Champions League games for the Black-and-Red.
