Topping 40% in all three voting categories (media, players and club), Jordan Morris has become the first Seattle Sounders player to win Rookie of the Year as a Sounder. Morris scored 12 goals, assisted four times and appeared in every regular season match.
“It’s a huge honor and it was one of my goals going into the year," Morris told SoundersFC.com. "But there were some other amazing rookies this year and they had some awesome years. Just to be a finalist with the two other great players was so cool. It’s obviously a huge honor.”
The vote totals indicate the race was not close, as was expected.
