12/10/2024 2:00:00 PM | Men's Soccer
NEW YORK, N.Y. – Two Duke men's soccer student-athletes were selected to compete in the 2024 Adidas MLS College Showcase from Dec. 11-14 in San Diego, Calif. Sophomore Ulfur Bjornsson and graduate Wessel Speel were the two Blue Devils selected for the event.
The four-day talent evaluation event will give technical staff from each MLS club an opportunity to scout top collegiate prospects in the nation ahead of the MLS SuperDraft 2024, which will occur on Friday, Dec. 20 at 2 p.m. ET.
"The Adidas College Showcase is an instrumental part of the evaluation process for top collegiate talent from across the country, and we are excited to welcome our clubs to San Diego for this year's event," said Alecko Eskandarian, Vice President, Player Relations & Player Development. "The college soccer landscape has a longstanding tradition of developing players who go on to have successful careers in MLS, with many first showcasing their talent at this event before making an impact in the league. We look forward to this year's group of prospects making their mark on the 2024 College Showcase."
The 2024 Adidas MLS College Showcase is a closed-door scouting event officially sanctioned by the NCAA. The eligible player list for MLS SuperDraft 2025 will be announced at a later date following the 2024 Adidas MLS College Showcase.
