Marquette’s class of MLS Draft picks won’t be growing by one more this year, as C. Nortey, the school’s only draft eligible player, was not selected in the MLS SuperDraft.

Nortey was projected to be drafted by most mock drafts. SBI Soccer had him selected as high as 33rd by Chicago, while TopDrawerSoccer had him ranked No. 62 on its Big Board.

Nortey scored 30 goals in 74 games over his four-year career at Marquette, including eight game-winners, tied for the most in program history.
