Seattle Sounders forward and former Stanford star Jordan Morris is ranked No. 3 on Major League Soccer’s 24 Under 24 list. Morris, 21, finished behind only Orlando City SC’s Cyle Larin and New York City FC’s Jack Harrison on the annual list.

Morris, a two-time Stanford All-American and 2015 MAC Hermann Trophy winner, has exploded for 10 goals in his first pro season, only the fifth rookie to do so in league history. He also has five game-winning goals, an MLS rookie record.

Morris decided to skip his senior season at Stanford and sign with the Sounders as a Homegrown Player in January. He was named MVP at the College Cup after leading the Cardinal to the program’s first NCAA title with a two-goal performance in the championship in December.
