In a press release sent by the club, both Crooks and RSL Vice President of Community Relations Kyle Schroeder shared their thoughts on his recognition.
“Wow, to say that I am humbled to receive this honor from the Club is an understatement,” Crooks said. “As a Club, as a team, and as individuals, we face many challenges. The acts of helping others, no matter how big or small, are so rewarding. As our Club grows, and as we spend more time in Utah, I look forward to doing even more.”
Crooks signed with RSL in February and began MLS play shortly after.
