Output in context · Portland Timbers finished 11th of 15 · a lower-table side
5.07 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — high defensive volume across 22 appearances. Doing that for a lower-table side (11th of 15) is harder than the bare numbers suggest: a back line under more pressure has to defend more often and protects fewer leads, so the volume — and any clean sheets — carry real weight.
Strengths
- Defensive volume. 5.07 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — does the unseen work.
Watch points
- Game time. Only 21.7% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
- Level. Rates below a nailed-on top-tier starter on our model.
Outlook
Rated 34.9 overall — developing / rotation level. Defensively he reads as high defensive volume (5.07 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Approaching peak years; value is still building (price multiplier 2×) with the best seasons likely ahead.
