The MLS Wrap: Pro career beckons after Morris wins NCAA title

U.S. national team forward Jordan Morris helped lead Stanford to an NCAA title, making a move to the pros a safer bet for the top prospect.

Jordan Morris surprised many when he made the decision to stay in college another year rather than turn pro after making his U.S. national team debut a year ago, but on Sunday he helped Stanford University win its first national championship. It was his stated goal, and now that he has accomplished that mission there is really no reason to delay a professional career that has been highly anticipated ever since Jurgen Klinsmann handed him his first call-up.
