Yazmeen Ann Ryan (born February 25, 1999) is an American professional soccer player who plays as a midfielder for Portland Thorns FC of the National Women's Soccer League (NWSL).

Early life[]

Ryan grew up in Norman, Oklahoma, and attended Norman North High School. She played for the club team Norman Celtic. As a freshman, she led Norman North to their first-ever girls soccer state championship.[2]

TCU Horned Frogs[]

Ryan joined TCU as an attacking midfielder in 2017 and captained the team in 2020. She led the team to their first-ever Big 12 conference championship; however, Ryan missed the championship-clinching game due to injury.[3]

Club career[]

Ryan played for Oklahoma City and was named to the club's all-time Best XI.[4]

Ryan was drafted at No. 6 overall by the Portland Thorns in the 2021 NWSL Draft. Ryan was the Thorns' "top target". After they attempted to trade into the #4 draft position, the Thorns eventually traded two later picks plus an international slot to move up to select Ryan.[5]
