Another SuperDraft has come and gone, and while a lot can happen before next January, here’s an early look at some of the top non-MLS Academy prospects in college soccer to keep an eye on through the spring exhibition season, summer amateur leagues and the fall regular season.
Gordon Wild, F, Maryland*
Wild was offered a chance to be in this year’s draft but turned down the league’s Generation adidas offer and will return to College Park for his junior season. The German has 33 goals in two seasons split between USC Upstate and Maryland so he’s a proven goal-scorer at a top program who will likely entertain offers to turn pro again in December.
