Orlando City Roster Breakdown: Wingers

Benji Michel

Age: 24

Prior Years w/ Orlando City: 3

Michel is probably the best Orlando City homegrown to date. Since making his debut with the first team in 2019, he's made 83 appearances in all competitions for the Lions, scoring 16 goals in that time. The former Portland (University) star could be in for an even bigger role this season. His speed and striker instincts give him a unique profile amongst Orlando City's wingers, and could see him become a regular starter for the first time in his MLS career. If he can improve his technical ability, he could be in for a prolific 2022, a season that could earn him a nice extension, free agent contract elsewhere or maybe even a move abroad.
