The newest episode of the Nutmeg Podcast with 610 Sports Radio host Josh Klinger featured an in-depth interview with one of Sporting Kansas City's breakout performers at the historic MLS is Back Tournament last month in Walt Disney World.
Third-year center back Graham Smith spent most of his first two professional seasons with Sporting Kansas City II at the USL Championship level. However, the 24-year-old Colorado native made an eye-catching jump in Florida by starting three matches and helping the team to consecutive shutout wins over Real Salt Lake and Vancouver Whitecaps FC.
With 14 regular season appearances under his belt, Smith will now aim to help Sporting keep hold of first place in the Western Conference as league play returns to home markets later this month.
