Adapting to the Next Challenge: Laurence Wyke's transition from ATL UTD 2 to ATL UTD

ATL UTD midfielder Laurence Wyke spent a year with ATL UTD 2 before being called up. Wyke knows what it means to bide his time and work on his game. He had the same task when he first came to college in America to Division-III Trinity University. After playing in Texas for a year and a half, Wyke was ready for a new challenge and transferred to Division-I Furman University.

“My first year at Furman I got conference player of the year, Academic All-American. I went into my senior year unsure whether I was going to play professionally still,” Wyke reminisced.
