    Snip:

    Benavides, a recent Grand Canyon University graduate who played as a right midfielder in the school's lauded men's soccer program, signed a contract with Austrian lower division club FS Elektra. He will join the team in December just before the European soccer "transfer window" opens in January.​

    Looks like he's a '90 from Oregon. This appears to have been facilitated by the same Dave Irby-run program that has sent several other players to the Austrian lower divisions in recent years.

    Benavides appears to have moved down two divisions to SV Hirschstetten (down from 4th to 6th tier if I understand German Wikipedia correctly).
