Charlotte 49ers men's soccer All-American defender Callum Montgomery was the fourth overall pick by FC Dallas in the 2019 Major League Soccer SuperDraft held today in Chicago.
"It has not sunk in yet, it is a dream come true," Montgomery said. "This is a great day for me and my family; I want to thank everyone that helped me get here."
Montgomery is the 11th Charlotte 49ers player picked in the MLS Draft. He is the third Niner taken in the first round joining former 49ers stalwarts Mac Cozier (1996 - 10th overall pick by the Columbus Crew) and Ben Parry (1998 - 3rd overall pick by the San Jose Clash).
