Colorado’s Jaelin Howell selected No. 2 in NWSL Draft

Fossil Ridge High School graduate and Real Colorado Youth Soccer Club product Jaelin Howell was selected No. 2 Saturday by the Racing Louisville City Football Club, in the 2022 National Women’s Soccer (NWSL) League’s College Draft.

Howell will be in great company as she will join the expansion team’s roster that includes U.S. Women’s National Team (USWNT) player Emily Fox, NWSL scoring phenom, Jess McDonald, and Lauren Milliet, who hails from Durango, Colorado.

“I think Louisville has a great team already, and I’m trying to bring what I know to do best, and that’s being physical and also connect the game,” Howell stated during her CBS broadcast interview.
