The transition from collegiate to professional sports is an unforgiving one, as less than 2 percent of NCAA senior athletes establish themselves at the pro level, according to the Butler Collegian.
Last season, the Big East featured three of the top-ten and five of the top-25 in Top Drawer Soccer’s National 100. The Big East First and Second Teams of last season are made up of 15 players who elected to go pro.
Of them, none have been more outstanding than Keegan Rosenberry, a player not among the eight in the top-100 nor a Big East First Team selection.
