It’s hard to think of a rookie in MLS this year who had a year so fraught with highs and lows as Omar Holness, and thankfully, we can sit here talking about how he made the pitch for Real Salt Lake nine times.
That’s not an amazing count for an MLS rookie, but for Generation Adidas midfielder Holness, it may have come as a bit of a surprise.
After all, in a match for Real Monarchs on March 29, Holness suffered an on-field seizure. It was not the start for his professional career that anyone envisioned — but he managed a full recovery in a very short time.
