Marc Dos Santos’ busy offseason continued Friday with his first MLS SuperDraft as a head coach.
Vancouver Whitecaps FC used their lone selection, the 35th overall pick in the second round, to select centre back Brendan McDonough from Georgetown University.
“Brendan is a centre back that has a good margin to progress,” Dos Santos told reporters in Chicago, adding that McDonough can play in a back-three or back-four formation. “He’s a player that caught our eye at the combine and even before.”
McDonough, a 6-foot-2 centre back who led Georgetown to three Big East titles in his four years at the school, is expected to join the ‘Caps in preseason as an unsigned player.
