Ulfarsson, Murphy Selected in 2022 MLS SuperDraft

DURHAM – Duke men's soccer sophomore Thorleifur Ulfarsson and senior Ian Murphy were selected in Tuesday's 2022 MLS SuperDraft.

Ulfarsson was drafted as the fourth overall pick by Houston Dynamo FC, with Murphy following soon after as the 14th overall pick by FC Cincinnati. The duo becomes the second pair of Blue Devils under head coach John Kerr to go in the first round of the same draft since Brian White and Carter Manley did so in 2018.

"We are ecstatic about Thor and Ian getting drafted in the top-15 of the MLS Draft," said Kerr.
