Jordan Morris makes first Seattle Sounders training camp appearance

Jordan Morris - Seattle Sounders - January 2015 - Back to camera

Seattle Sounders made one of the most-discussed acquisitions of the Major League Soccer offseason by beating out Werder Bremen to sign up-and-coming US national teamer Jordan Morris.


And finally, after a stint with the national team, the 21-year-old former Stanford star hit the training field for his hometown club. Watch the highlights here.  


According to the Seattle Times, Morris' reputation as a highly-touted prospect didn't stop his Sounders teammates from hazing the rookie ahead of the practice. His teammate Brad Evans started the pranks early. 

ā€œHe told me to sit in the front seat and then snapped that picture,ā€ Morris said to the Times responding to the prank. ā€œI think he set me up.ā€


Evans simply stated after, ā€œHe’s always going to say that, right? He’s got to protect himself. He’s got to protect that ego.ā€


Morris could make his Sounders preseason debut against FC Celaya on Tuesday.
