Gomez Sanchez selected by Vancouver in the third round of the MLS SuperDraft

Jorge Gomez Sanchez left his name on Temple’s record books in his two seasons with the Owls.

He scored 27 goals to tie for fifth in Temple program history and finished ninth all-time with 62 career points. His 14 goals in 2016 tied for seventh-most in Division I.

The senior midfielder and forward received an invitation to last week’s MLS combine in Los Angeles and scored a goal in his first exhibition game but wasn’t selected in the first two rounds of the MLS SuperDraft on Friday. He got drafted Tuesday in the third round with the 51st overall pick by Vancouver Whitecaps FC.
