Three months ago tomorrow, Omar Holness suffered a seizure while playing for Real Monarchs in what can only be described as a terrifying moment in the history of Rio Tinto Stadium.
Today, Holness, Real Salt Lake’s first-round draft pick is making his MLS debut. Only a week and a half ago, he made his Real Monarchs debut.
While we’d rather not be talking about that moment when everyone’s hearts skipped a beat, there’s also no avoiding it. In that moment, it became the first thing that comes to mind when we think about Holness.
But tonight’s match could be a first step in the opposite direction: We can start to remember Holness as a Real Salt Lake player.
