About August
Expert Analysis
JR Eskilson | Prep Soccer Scout
Nystrom is an MLS Next All-Star, member of the U.S. Youth National Team, and the top ranked prospect from the Portland Timbers . This certainly feels like the last season for Nystrom to play in MLS Next. He is featuring with the Timbers U19 team this season. The six-foot-two, right-footed center back has pretty much reached and achieved everything there is at an individual level for the club game. He should be getting more opportunities against professional competition in 2026. Nystrom’s strengths are reading the game, composure on the ball, and versatility. Nystrom is getting playing time at both right and left center back this season. Timbers are also playing through him a lot. He is being tasked with handling the pressure in the build-up and making decisions on the ball. The repetitions are paying off and making him into more of a complete defender who should be ready for the next step in his career.
