Year-on-year, that's a clear step up on last season (Season 0 → 7). Across the 3 seasons we hold, it's his best return yet.
On long-term talent our Rating reads 41, top 21% of the 101 full-backs in the Major League Soccer. At 21 Norris is still climbing toward his ceiling, and a market index of 6.8 reflects that trajectory.
Read the appearance count in context: Norris missed 3 games through injury (international duty) out of roughly 36 this season. The 13 he did play is a solid return on the time he was fit, and his ratings are weighted toward those games rather than the ones he sat out injured.

- Level. Rates below a nailed-on top-tier starter on our model.
Outlook
With a Rating of 40.5, Norris carries the 21st-highest potential of the full-backs in the Major League Soccer of 101 — though on just 13 appearances this season, so the standing rests on a small sample. Defensively he reads as solid defensive volume (3.69 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). At 21 the trajectory points up — potential sits near its ceiling (97/100) and market value should climb as minutes and output follow.
