One of the promises of Sounders 2 was bringing players into the first team. A few players have earned their way from USL to MLS. They’ve done so as draftees (Tony Alfaro), Homegrown Players (Aaron Kovar) and international discoveries (Oalex Anderson). This looks only at the players on USL contracts with S2.
Several players on loan down to S2 from the MLS side will get their shot in 2017 and beyond - Darwin Jones, Victor Mansaray, Tony Alfaro, Tyler Miller, and Oniel Fisher were all regulars for S2 while under MLS contract. There are also a bunch of Academy talents that played up and will get professional looks in a couple years - Nick Hinds, Tobi Jnohope, and Handwalla Bwana for example.
