Jordan Allen is a competitive person. Whether it’s on the soccer field or playing ping pong or FIFA, he hates losing and will do whatever it takes to get better along the way.
He has seen the benefits at the ping pong table and behind the video game controller, too, but his improvements on the soccer field are glaring and have landed him at No. 16 on the annual MLSsoccer.com “24 Under 24” presented by EA Sports.
Allen is still just 21 years old, but is in his third MLS season. In his first season back in 2014, he came off the bench in RSL’s first two matches only to suffer a series of injuries that cut his season short before it really had a chance to get started.
