DURHAM, N.C.—Three Blue Devils are among the 40 players who will take part in the inaugural 2019 adidas MLS College Showcase, which will take place from Dec. 13-15 in Raleigh, N.C. Seniors
Daniele Proch and
Brandon Williamson and sophomore
Aedan Stanley will represent Duke.
The three-day event will give technical staffs from every MLS club an opportunity to scout the top collegiate prospects in the nation, including players with remaining NCAA eligibility, which includes Duke's Stanley.
The 2019 adidas MLS College Showcase features 40 top college players, ranging from freshmen to seniors, participating in a series of training sessions, testing, interviews and match play. The event will allow MLS clubs to interact with potential SuperDraft selections earlier in their collegiate careers without jeopardizing players' collegiate eligibility.
Proch and Williamson both will be graduating in December after standout careers for the Blue Devils. A 2018 All-American, Proch was the team's offensive leader this past season with 12 goals, while Williamson was the engine in the midfield. Stanley played both center back and on the wing for the Blue Devils in his sophomore season. Starting the year running the flank, he provided three assists in the first five games before moving into a center back role midway through the year.
While many of the players at the College Showcase will be eligible for the 2020 MLS SuperDraft presented by adidas, the eligible player list for the 2020 MLS SuperDraft presented by adidas will be announced at a later date.
