Mohammed Enters MLS SuperDraft, Signs Generation Adidas Contract
12/20/2022 11:00:00 AM | Men's Soccer
DURHAM – Duke men's soccer sophomore Shakur Mohammed has signed a Generation adidas contract and will forgo the remainder of his college eligibility to enter the 2023 Major League Soccer SuperDraft, the league has announced ahead of Wednesday's draft.
A native of Kumasi, Ghana, Mohammed concludes his Duke career with 13 total goals and nine assists for a total of 35 points in 37 games. The sophomore started in 35 of his 37 total appearances, including in all 19 of Duke's games during the 2022 season. He tallied three multi-goal games during his time in Durham, including back-to-back braces against Notre Dame and George Washington this year.
Mohammed becomes the third Generation adidas signee in program history joining Andrew Wenger and Thorleifur Ulfarsson. Mohammed and Ulfarsson are the first Duke players to sign Generation adidas contracts in back-to-back years, after Ulfarsson inked a contract following the 2021 season and was selected fourth overall by the Houston Dynamo.
The sophomore collected a vast array of accolades this season, being named a MAC Hermann Trophy semifinalist, First Team All-America, First Team All-South Region, ACC Offensive Player of the Year and First Team All-ACC. In 2021 he earned ACC Freshman of the Year, All-ACC Second Team, ACC All-Freshman Team and All-South Region Third Team honors.
The 2023 MLS SuperDraft is scheduled for Wednesday, Dec. 21 at 5 p.m., and can be watched live on YouTube, Twitch, Twitter and MLSsoccer.com
