Owen Wolff turns heads in MLS, gets call-up to U-19 MYNT – CAPITAL CITY SOCCER
Teen Wolff’s coming-of-age happened right before our eyes in May.
The young monster of the midfield shined in his first appearance as a starter, against first-place LAFC, and immediately followed it up with a 23 of 24 completed-passing performance in his start against Orlando. Third time was a charm (as a starter) when Owen Wolff bagged his first MLS assist, perfectly setting up Diego Fagundez’s goal versus LA Galaxy.
Wolff had this to say about growing up so fast in MLS.
“I just keep working hard as a young player, because that’s what we do as young players — just work hard. As we get older, the quality will start coming and we’ll start seeing the game at a faster speed, like the older guys do.”
