"We have watched Jordan through our youth national teams and in the Development Academy for the last couple of years, and he is a very promising player. We saw him during our two weeks at Stanford for the World Cup preparation camp, and also from his play with U-23 team in the Bahamas, and we felt like this was a good opportunity to introduce him to the Senior Team."

-- U.S. coach Jurgen Klinsmann on calling in Stanford University sophomore Jordan Morris for Wednesday's game against the Czech Republic. Morris, who would be the first collegian to play for the U.S. national team in nearly two decades, came out of the Seattle Sounders' academy program.(USSoccer.com)
