Nermin Crnkic came in the 60th minute for the Portland Timbers in their 1-0 preseason win against Real Salt Lake in Tucson, Ariz., on Thursday.

That prompted a question: Who is this guy?

Unless there are a bunch of soccer players with this name, Crnkic is a Bosnian-born left winger who came to the United States when he was seven years old and "didn't know a word of English," according to an August, 2015 profile in America Soccer Now.

If it's the same person, Crnkic played high school soccer at East Kentwood in Kalamazoo, Mich., according to a story on MLive.com, a sister website to OregonLive.com.

There, he drew comparisons in style and presence to University of Michigan quarterback Denard Robinson.

"He's absolutely electric in that he can change a game at any moment. He has qualities you rarely see," East Kentwood coach John Conlon said in a story from July, 2011. That's when Crnkic signed with the Sandviken IF Division 2 team in Sweden.

Playing for the amateur Michigan Bucks in the 2012 U.S. Open Cup, he was part of history when he assisted on the game-tying goal against the MLS' Chicago Fire and then scored the game-winner in extra time in the 3-2 win.

More recently, Crnkic been playing for FK Jablonec in the Czech Liga, according to the America Soccer Now piece.

Is he a target for the Timbers, who are looking to sign a winger after the departure of Rodney Wallace? Or are the Timbers looking at him as a depth piece or possible T2 player?

We'll see.
