Austin's Soccer Pod

Not only known for being quick on the field (seriously, he was recently clocked running a speed that would make him the fastest player in Bundesliga history), the Round Rock native recently signed with Hannover 96 in the German league's second division.

The Round Rock native sits down with Chris Bils to talk about the future, his journey with soccer (so far) and how he has continued training during the pandemic.
