Jared Stroud

Stroud is coming off a productive first season with D.C., one where he recorded 10 goal contributions in his second straight MLS campaign. The first half of his season was especially productive as he scored one goal and recorded seven assists in his first 16 matches. Although he played mostly in midfield, Stroud was utilized on the forward line and even played two matches at full-back, one of which he recorded an assist in. His versatility makes him a crucial player for D.C., and he has proven his ability to create chances and score the odd goal. Expect him to continue his streak of double-digit goal contributions in 2025.
