Franks on Kai Carlson:
“Kai is a player who fits Denver in so many ways. His leadership with Portland Timbers as the captain of the squad and ability to be resilient is why I think Kai will be a great addition. He’s got the ability to play multiple positions on the field and is willing to do whatever it takes for the team was seen in the recruiting process and shows as he’s led his club team to trophies in the academy.”
