MLS released the MLS Draft combine list over the weekend and there was an interesting name that was not on the list for Crew SC fans. Akron Andrew Souders is a Crew Soccer Academy alumni, but was not going to be offered a contract by the team according to head coach Gregg Berhalter in December.
There are a couple reasons a player might drop off the list. Four others dropped off the combine list including Red Bulls homegrown Brandon Allen and Houston signee Bradley Bourgeois. They got contracts. It could be that Souders is attracting interest from overseas and has a deal with a team in Europe or Berhalter changed his mind.
