D.C. United expects homegrown prospect Eryk Williamson to sign overseas

D.C. United expects homegrown prospect Eryk Williamson to sign overseas instead of accepting its contract offer, sources close to the team said Monday.

United made a revised offer about two weeks ago to the University of Maryland and U.S. under-20 national team attacker but has not received a reply. One source said there’s been no recent counteroffers or dialogue.

Last month, Williamson withdrew from Maryland with a year of eligibility left in order to pursue a pro career. Because he is affiliated with United’s youth academy, he is not eligible for the MLS draft next week.
