Samory Signing Soon —
After going undrafted in the 2024 @MLS#SuperDraft, it’s very likely that Samory Powder has several opportunities to choose from. His résumé alone is quite extensive, and he has all the right connections on top of that.
The former @PortlandMSOC and @hvhammers player has left his mark on the collegiate and semi-professional levels with his ability to play anywhere up and down the right flank.
Most notably, Samory was named both @USLLeagueTwo ‘Player of the Year’ and ‘Defender of the Year’ in 2022, having been described as an explosive defender as well as an attacking phenom from the right back position. He beat out several high profile names for those awards.
For example, some of the players that joined him on the 2022 All-League Team…
⁃ Nathaniel Opoku (OH Leuven)
⁃ Peter Stroud (NYRB)
⁃ Moise Bombito (Colorado Rapids)
⁃ Moses Mensah (Birmingham Legion)
⁃ Braudílio Rodrigues (Tacoma Defiance)
⁃ Kemy Amiche (Free Agent)
⁃ João Gomeiro (Richmond Kickers)
More recently, he was called up to the Trinidad & Tobago National Team for the 2023 CONCACAF Gold Cup preliminary training camp over the past summer. To add some perspective around that achievement… 2024 MLS SuperDraft First Overall Pick, Tyrese Spicer, has yet to be called up by the Soca Warriors, though I’m sure it won’t be long now.
So, does he join his older brother, Noah Powder, at @nocohailstormfc? Even though that would be a massive signing for the Future Legends Ownership Group, I think Samory would be a better fit for the USL Championship or NEXT Pro levels en route to a potential top flight move.
Or, does he join his younger brother, Seth Powder, at @RealMonarchs? If that were the case, he’d also be reuniting with recent Pilots teammate Kevin Bonilla, who was drafted by the @realsaltlake organization last month.
He had even spent time with the Portland Timbers Academy prior to starting his @NCAASoccer career with @UDMSoccer, so was his recent transfer to the University of Portland a way of foreshadowing his return to the @TimbersFC organization?
The speculations go on and on...
As always, time will tell, but @spowder01 will be a great ‘under the radar’ signing for whoever is able to secure his services.
@USLChampionship and @MLSNEXTPRO clubs should be on high alert because I can’t see him being available for long.

I want to apologize to the players, staff n the country. Silly 2 yellows to pick and let everyone down . It has no one else to blame and it is a mistake I will learn from . 🤞🏿 #nzp6
⚽️ Noah Powder scores a left-footed screamer from outside the box in what turned out to be the game-winning goal in Northern Colorado Hailstorm FC's 4-2 win over Charlotte Independence. This is Noah's first goal for the Hailstorm. @noahzp_6
