The Colorado Rapids have been successful in recent years signing homegrown youth players such as Cole Bassett and Sam Vines. On Wednesday, they made two more such signings: 19-year-old midfielder Oliver Larraz and 16-year-old forward Darren Yapi, the youngest player in club history. They are the 13th and 14th Rapids Academy players to sign professional deals with the club. Yapi, a native of Colorado, joined the Rapids Academy at the age of 12.
