New England Revolution II has signed Revolution Academy forward Olger Escobar (Malden, Mass.) to an MLS NEXT Pro professional contract through the 2024 season with a club option for 2025.
Escobar becomes the 11th player to ascend to Revolution II’s roster from the Revolution Academy since 2020.
The 16-year-old embarks on his pro career after several years in the Revolution Academy, which he joined in 2018. The Massachusetts product was named the 2023 U-17 MLS NEXT MVP earlier this month, after a sensational season that saw the forward produce 15 goals in 17 starts during the 2022-23 campaign. Escobar featured with the U-19s in the postseason, helping claim the team’s second consecutive national title at MLS NEXT Cup.
