Colorado Rapids announced today that the club has signed 2016 MLS SuperDraft pick Dennis Castillo (37th overall) out of Virginia Commonwealth University.
“Dennis is a young defender with good technique and a great attitude,” said Paul Bravo, VP of Soccer Operations and Technical Director. “He has all the fundamentals to go far in the game and we’re happy to officially add him to our squad.”
Castillo, 22, was named the 2015 Atlantic 10 Defensive Player of the Year and was a four-year starter for the Rams, starting all 80 games he saw action in, a school record.
