Scout report

Project playerFull-back

J. Mosquera is a 23-year-old full-back at Portland Timbers, rated 44.1 overall by Field Insider's model, ranking 43rd of 513 on scout potential in the Major League Soccer. An emerging talent, he has been an ever-present this season (81% of available minutes). His defensive output reads 1.73 tackles, blocks and interceptions per 90. Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Mosquera.

Judged on this season alone, Mosquera graded 15 — a workmanlike campaign that ranks 59th of 101 of the 101 full-backs in the Major League Soccer, on 5 clean sheets and 1.729 defensive actions per 90.

Year-on-year, that's a drop on last season (Season 19 → 15). Over the 4 seasons on record his form has trended upward, peaking in 2023/24.

On long-term talent our Rating reads 44, top 5% of the 101 full-backs in the Major League Soccer. At 23 Mosquera is still climbing toward his ceiling, and a market index of 8.3 reflects that trajectory.

Read the appearance count in context: Mosquera missed 3 games through injury (lower-body) out of roughly 38 this season. The 31 he did play is a solid return on the time he was fit, and his ratings are weighted toward those games rather than the ones he sat out injured.
