Franks on Erik Collins:
"We are excited to bring Erik into our team culture and locker room. He's a versatile player who can play multiple positions on the field at a very high level. Watching Erik compete at Seattle Sounders, he's got a winning mentality and drive to do whatever it takes for the team to have success. Erik has some great instincts and physical attributes that we feel will allow him to develop into a very good college soccer player."
