The men’s Division I soccer season begins on Thursday.
Another offseason of rampant roster moves has left programs with a slew of newcomers to sift through as the cycle of the college season hits the business end. Players have moved via transfer; top club talent has matriculated to college while international additions about as well.
Below is a rundown of the Top 50 recruiting classes, the final ranks for 2023 incoming classes.
Please send any commitments or corrections to editor@topdrawersoccer.com.
Commitments: D Carlos Leatherman (Minnesota United FC – No. 63), F Marcos Moore (Rise SC – No. 75), D Cole Dougherty (Solar SC – No. 80), M Jack Sullivan (Colorado Rapids – No. 124), F Tanner Anderson (St. Louis Scott Gallagher – No. 181), M Axel Torres (Rise SC)
Transfers: D Galen Flynn (Fordham), F Matt Wrobel (St. Bonaventure), D Lawson Redmon (Indiana), M Diego Konincks (Campbell)
It’s an extremely strong class up and down the field for SLU. Moore was the United Soccer Coaches club player of the year and is arguably the top striker in the class.
Commitments: F Diego Rosas (Houston Dynamo – No. 52), D Angel Martinez (Pac Northwest SC – No. 71), F Nicholas Dunbar (LA Galaxy – No. 86), M Efetobo Aror (Barca Academy – No. 100), M William Cornog (Solar SC), GK Drew Hartman (D.C. United), F Joe Highfield (Minnesota Thunder Academy), M Morgan Olson (Minnesota United FC)
Transfers: F Micaah Garnette (St. John’s), F Tim Ennin (Northeastern), M Wylie Trujillo (Gonzaga), M Jesus Salazar (Mount St. Mary’s), M Boyd Curry (St. Mary’s (CA)), F Samory Powder (Detroit Mercy)
A blend of top incoming talent and transfer additions should add to Portland’s high level. It was a great season for the Pilots in 2022 that saw them go on a lengthy tournament run. Aror is a huge add to the team’s spine.
Commitments: D Mateo Pinilla (Houston Dynamo – No. 30), GK Wyatt Nelson (Seattle Sounders – No. 43), F Jacob Diaz (LAFC), D Philip Naef (BSC Young Boys), F Samuel Scott (Solar SC), D Tre Wright (Capital City SC)
Transfers: M Ryan Becher (UMBC), F Oshea Foster (San Diego), M Sean Karani (Temple), F Jack Sarkos (Lehigh), D Owen Schwartz (Brown)
A flurry of transfer adds and a player with Naef’s resume makes for an impressive class on paper. Nelson should step in as the starter right away, with the transfer experiences has plenty of potential.
