For the first time since 2018, the Philadelphia Union selected a player in the MLS SuperDraft on Wednesday, using their 28th pick in the first round to select High Point goalkeeper Holden Trent.

The Union also used the 28th picked in the second round to draft the MLS rights to Union II forward Stefan Stojanovic and passed on the 28th pick in the third round.

Trent, a Greensboro, N.C. native, made 52 appearances for High Point over three seasons after transferring to the North Carolina school from West Virginia.
