It was a teardown of sorts for sporting director Rodolfo Borrell in his first offseason with the club. He gutted and replaced the club's scouting and player personnel department and declined nine players' contract options, and as the 2024 season is about to begin, he's in the midst of a multi-phase plan to get Austin back to the playoffs.

Defender Julio Cascante has an injured leg and didn't play in two of the preseason games at the Coachella Valley Invitational, and Wolff said one of the things that complicated things last season was the amount of injuries at center back.

The rebuild is going slowly

Hines-Ike will provide depth at center back, a position where Austin FC has been thin the past couple of seasons. After a collegiate career with Creighton and South Florida, Hines-Ike played in Sweden and Belgium from 2016-21 before coming back stateside to play for D.C. United in 2022. He made 49 appearances with D.C. United across three seasons.

Rubio was signed as a free agent and his contract comes with a club option for 2025. He played the past six seasons for the Colorado Rapids and three seasons for Sporting Kansas City before that.
