Defensive Reinforcements Arrive in Oklahoma
FC Tulsa secured the acquisition of Wilson Eisner on a temporary transfer, pending league and federation approval, as reported by the club on August 14, 2026. “Wilson had a number of options, and we are glad he chose Tulsa,” Sewell stated. “In Wilson, we are getting a very hard-working player that likes to get up and down and fits our team DNA.”
The Menlo Park, California native joins an active roster featuring eleven defenders, including Lamar Batista, Abdoulaye Cissoko, and Grant Robinson.
Professional Background and Collegiate Roots
Eisner enters the USL Championship following a stint with Major League Soccer side San Diego FC, where he joined ahead of the 2026 campaign after being selected via the 2025 End-of-Year waivers. According to San Diego FC news releases, he made seven total appearances across MLS and the CONCACAF Champions Cup, including an opening-round assist during a 3-1 victory against UNAM Pumas on February 10, 2026.
Before his time in Southern California, Eisner played within the San Jose Earthquakes organization for The Town FC in MLS Next Pro. During the 2024 and 2025 seasons, he contributed to a defensive unit that allowed the fewest goals in the Western Conference. In 2025 specifically, he ranked second on the club with 27 appearances, 2,253 minutes played, and 24 clearances.
His development traces back to Cornell University, where he competed collegiately. Over 36 appearances and 34 starts, he registered three goals and three assists, earning First Team All-Ivy League honors as a freshman in 2021 and Second Team recognition during his junior year in 2023.
Upcoming Schedule and Roster Impact
Eisner becomes immediately available for selection ahead of FC Tulsa’s fixture against New Mexico United on August 15, 2026. The Black and Gold face a difficult two-match road trip against Western Conference top-four opponents, traveling next to face Orange County SC on August 22, 2026, before returning to ONEOK Field on August 29, 2026, to host Rhode Island FC.
San Diego FC retains the contractual flexibility to recall Eisner should Major League Soccer roster demands shift later in the year.
