Atlanta United 2 announced the signing of midfielder Tristan Trager, Atlanta United’s second-round pick of the 2022 MLS Superdraft. Trager becomes the second player drafted in 2022 to join Atlanta United 2 and the third of the club’s draft picks with the 2s.
Trager joins the club after a program-leading career at the US Air Force Academy. As a member of the service academy, Trager had to settle his service requirements and complete his graduation from the academy on May 25 before officially signing his first professional contract.
The 22-year-old San Clemente, California native tallied the most goals, assists, and points of any Air Force player during his four-year collegiate career, and was named Offensive Player of the Year for the Western Athletic Conference and First Team All-WAC for the 2021-22 season.
