Oh, what could have been.

U.S. youth international forward Andres Jasson (Greenwich, Conn.) has signed a Homegrown Player deal with New York City FC, the club announced Thursday, ensuring that the freshman never plays a game for Yale University.

Jasson was a landmark recruit for the defending Ivy League champions in the Class of 2020, but COVID-19 pandemic factors mean he won't suit up for the Bulldogs.
