Seattle Sounders forward Jordan Morris and midfielder Aaron Kovar will both appear in the annual Chipotle Homegrown Game during MLS All-Star Week later this month, the latest accolade for the team’s pair of Seattle-bred rising stars.
Longtime MLS and U.S. national team star and MLS Homegrown Team head coach Landon Donovan named the team’s 20-man roster on Tuesday. The team will take on the Mexico Under-20 national team in the third incarnation of the Homegrown Game on July 27 at 6 p.m. PT at Avaya Stadium, the home of the San Jose Earthquakes.
Morris, 21, leads all MLS rookies this season with six goals after signing his Homegrown contract in January.
