The Cameroon native recorded 49 clearances, 29 tackles, 25 interceptions and a 76.9 percent passing accuracy. Eboussi recorded a 69 percent tackle success rate while winning over 52 percent of both his duels and aerial duels on the season.

“We are pleased that Pascal is joining us and adding to our back line,” said SAFC Head Coach Darren Powell. “He is a young center-back that has played in over 30 games in the USL the past two years with Colorado Springs. He is somebody we hope we can continue to develop and improve while improving our team for the 2019 season.”

The 20-year-old also appeared in two Open Cup matches in 2018, playing in 210 total minutes including 120 against San Antonio FC in the third round of the tournament at Toyota Field.
