Pittsburgh Riverhounds

On April 19, 2020 Pittsburgh Riverhounds SC signed 17-year-old forward Wyatt Borso to a USL Academy contract for the 2021 season. Borso’s signing marked the first time the club has brought a player into its first team on a USL Academy contract.[4] The USL referenced it "a historic signing in Pittsburgh". [5] Borso, a native of Aurora, Ill. was included in TopDrawerSoccer.com USL Championship: 10 Amateurs To Know, in which he was called "one of the most interesting additions in the USL offseason." [6]

The USL Academy contract allows players to train daily with and play for the pro first team in the USL Championship while still maintaining amateur status, which will allow a player to play in the USL and maintain his NCAA eligibility.[7][5]. A Notre Dame recruit, Borso is rated as a four-star prospect and one of the top 10 forwards in the Class of 2022 by TopDrawerSoccer.com.[8]
