- 2. Introduction Kevin Weinress is an established soccer agent who represents international players in the United States. Kevin Weinress’ work with First Wave Sports Marketing also involves up-and-coming collegiate players, including highly ranked draft picks. In early 2017, the 2016 MLS Cup-winning Seattle Sounders announced that they had selected First Wave’s Brian Nana-Sinkam as their 22nd overall MLS SuperDraft pick. A 6-foot defender who excelled as a First Team All-Pac-12 selection during his time at Stanford University, Nana-Sinkam served as anchor of a brutally effective defense that allowed only 13 goals in 2016. Intriguingly, the same draft also brought forward Jordan Morris, one of Nana-Sinkam’s best friends, to Seattle. The former dorm mates played together in 2015 as juniors on a superlative Stanford squad that achieved NCAA College Cup victory. Morris described his new and former teammate as being extremely difficult to “break down,” and as one who draws on past basketball success in defending opponents.
