Boyd Okwuonu is one of the most intriguing players currently in the RSL camp. Drafted in 2015, the Tar Heel alum came to the Wasatch Front with family ties but has struggled to find consistent starting XI appearances behind Tony Beltran, but has nevertheless showed his potential in other ways.
Okwuonu made two appearances for Real Salt Lake in 2015. Despite only one start, the rookie continued to look like one of the most level-headed players in the game. The 23 year-old did not commit one foul in the 92 minutes he played for the first team, showcasing his defensive skills.
