Nico Escobar

Nico Escobar is the rare player appearing on two rosters in the 2026 U.S. Open — listed for both Clearwater and Pilot. In high-goal polo, players sometimes appear on multiple team sheets as substitutes or alternates, and Escobar's 6-goal handicap makes him valuable enough that two teams want him available.

At Clearwater, Escobar joins a lineup led by 9-goaler Francisco Elizalde and 7-goaler Raul 'Gringo' Colombres. At Pilot, he'd play alongside Lorenzo Chavanne at 7 and Mackenzie Weisz at 6. Either way, Escobar slots into a supporting professional role — the kind of versatile 6-goal player every team needs.

Being wanted by two teams at the U.S. Open says more about Escobar's value than any single stat could.
