As we know, Jake LaCava will be in the #17 and Kris Shakes confirmed he will stay with the lucky #13! 🍀

*Greg Hurst (#17 and #10) will be the 10th player in United history to wear two different numbers!

Lastly, it looks like fellow new arrival Maliek Howell will be wearing the #27.

He would be the fifth #27 in club history, following Romeo Parkes (2020), Philipp Beigl (2021), Avionne Flanagan (2024) and Tomas Pondeca (2025).

Preceding Reid-Stephen in the #7 are Ryan Williams (2019-2020), Chelo Martínez (2021) and Neco Brett (2023).

If Rivas is, in fact, departing, this is a huge development for the club and for the hometown, fan-favorite. I have a feeling there will be more to say on this very soon. 🥹

United tantalizingly posted a pic of Howell in a UNM kit adorned with the #22, leading many (me) to speculate that he could be a potential successor to Kalen Ryden in the #22.

Juicy, right?
Juicy.
