Ariel Lassiter

ANALYSIS
Lassiter has spent recent seasons moving between MLS clubs and completed his first year with the Timbers in 2025. Struggling for consistency, he slipped down the depth chart, featuring in only 23 matches, starting only four. Injuries contributed to his limited impact, though he managed three assists and created 10 chances in 542 minutes of play. Entering the final year of his two-year contract with Portland, he is expected to maintain a similar role next season.
