I thought that year there were two winners, but could be wrong (it's happened before)
what does redshirted mean?
Yup him and prately won it.
what does redshirted mean?In the US college system, you get a certain amount of years you are eligible to play (normally 4 years). Players can be 'redshirted' so they can sit out a year for various reasons, and not have it count against the time they are eligible to play.
Yup him and prately won it.
It looks like he was redshirted because of injuries this season, but linking up with the Timbers may make him ineligible. Alex Smith mentioned he lost his eligibility by going for a trial at a UK club. Things may have changed since then tho.
[Edit: looking at the wiki page for the league, it doesn't affect eligibility]

Timber's Kiwi count now up to four.
He's only 19 too so I assume he has left his gig at Uni of Washington.

Future Tin Man... Kewell... Hay... Nelson... Paston... etc
So basically he has taken the option to suspend his studies to have a crack at picking up a FT contract with Portland.
