Arne Klubberud, ’99, men’s soccer alumnus, Hall of Fame inductee and a Hall of Fame committee member said, “Alex has gone on to be arguably the most prominent Seattle University men’s soccer alumni in the history of the program. When Seattle University’s name is mentioned in connection to his seven-year pro career with the Seattle Sounders, MLS Championships, his Concacaf Championship, his naming to the MLS All-Star in 2021 or his 25 caps with the El Salvadorian National Team, the collective alumni group beams with pride. Alex has set a new standard for excellence for Seattle University soccer and all our alumni are proud to call him our own.”
