With the second and fourth picks of the MLS SuperDraft second round, Colorado Rapids Soccer Club selected forwards Alan Winn and Frantzdy Pierrot of the University of North Carolina and Coastal Carolina University, respectively.
Held at the Convention Center in historic Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, the Rapids – who did not hold a first round selection in this year’s draft – chose to bolster their attacking credentials with two of the first-four second round selections.
Winn joins the club from the University of North Carolina following a stellar senior season for the Tar Heels. A native of Garland, Texas, Winn led the team with 11 goals, was named a MAC Hermann Trophy Semifinalist, First Team All-ACC and a Second Team All-American all while leading the Tar Heels back to the NCAA Men's College Cup.
