Blake Bodily made his Major League Soccer debut at the MLS is Back Tournament in Orlando, and upon returning to Portland, he almost immediately got hurt. Now nearing the end of his recovery window from a leg injury, the Homegrown Player is looking to build upon his first Timbers minutes.
On this edition of Catching Up With, we talk with Blake about that Orlando debut as well as his path to Portland, one that saw him relocate from his native Idaho at the age of 16 to pursue a professional career. We get his thoughts on that switch, his early jump from college to pro, and the alternate universe of 2020 where he'd be a featured player for Timbers 2.
