Bowling Green State University men's soccer standout Ebenezer Ackon has been selected in the 2019 MLS SuperDraft. On Monday afternoon (Jan. 14), Ackon was chosen by the Chicago Fire in the Third Round.
Ackon, a native of Cape Coast, Ghana (Mfantsipim School), was the 53rd pick overall in this year's Superdraft.
"We are thrilled for Eby," said BGSU head coach Eric Nichols. "The Chicago Fire is a first-rate organization and they have picked up a very capable player in Eby. The jump from college to the professional ranks is a big one, but Eby has the athleticism, the technical ability and most importantly, the mentality to have a prolific career as a pro.
