30. Jose Hernandez – Midfielder – Real Salt Lake

DOB: 4/12/1996 | HT: 5-5 | WT: 145

Part of Real Salt Lake’s youth movement, Jose Hernandez was one of the new Homegrown signings from last year that failed to make a dent on the field. He logged just 160 minutes for RSL, going back and forth to get minutes with the Monarchs in the USL. The playmaking midfielder remains a promising prospect, though like others on the list, he needs to turn the flashes of what he’s shown into consistent, regular performances that force Mike Petke’s hand. A technical player with a clean touch, this upcoming season is a big year. Even if Hernandez doesn’t take a huge step forward, if he can make an impression more often and earn an uptick in minutes, it will be a great sign.
