Jordan Allen, previously known as the "Swiss Army Knife," has the talent to play nearly every position on the pitch and that is what he did. He has the talent to play along the touchline, whether it is in the attack or defense. He also has the talent to drive the attack or simply work in-between the boxes. In short, Real Salt Lake’s homegrown product has become a real asset to the club.
It was announced in preseason that Allen would be the heir apparent of Javier Morales. Symbolically given the keys to the RSL attack, head coach Jeff Cassar and the rest of the technical staff have enough faith in the youngster to link the club’s play from the back to the attack.
