Welcome to the Roots Report, a semiannual look at some of the prospects to watch throughout the Timbers system.
In this (hopefully) recurring piece, we’ll provide a quick update on some of the Timbers best prospects at the T2, collegiate, U-19, and U-17 levels. The purpose is not necessarily to identify the players that have had the most productive seasons at their respective levels, but rather to provide a quick look at some of the most promising non-first-team players that may somebody find their way to the first team.
Although players like Marco Farfan and Victor Arboleda are certainly part of the Timbers’ developmental pipeline and, as such, would ordinarily be considered in a full analysis of the Timbers’ roots, the purpose here is to take a quick look at some of the lesser-known players in the Timbers’ system.
