UPDATE (Nov. 29): Austin signed Alfonso Ocampo-Chavez to a first-team deal that guarantees him through 2023 and has options for 2024 and 2025.
Alfonso Ocampo-Chavez was selected by Austin FC in the MLS Waiver Draft on Thursday, meaning the Texas team can now offer him a contract and will retain the right of first-refusal on any MLS deal. The Sounders had previously declined his option for 2023.
Ocampo-Chavez first joined the Sounders organization in 2017 when he was recruited out of Merced, Calif. He made his Sounders 2 debut later that year as a 14-year-old while playing for the Academy.
