UNLV defender Bradley Kamdem was selected by the Colorado Rapids in the third round of Tuesday's Major League Soccer SuperDraft.
Kamdem was picked 58th overall and 17th in the round. The Paris native was a three-year starter for the Rebels after transferring from Huntington University. This season he earned second-team all-region honors and first-team All-Western Athletic Conference.
"It was very exciting and unexpected," Kamdem said in a statement through UNLV. "After I did not get an invite to the MLS combine I didn't think I had a great chance in the draft, so I just came into today with my fingers crossed.
