Jackson Ragen: The Space Reader
He’s the type of centre-back who wins moments before the crowd even notices the danger.
By holding the right distance from runners and reading the next pass, he stops attacks from becoming emergencies. That control helps Seattle defend higher because the back line stays connected rather than stretched. When the match becomes a chess game of positioning, his awareness and calm choices give the Sounders a real edge.
