FC Dallas made sure no one was going to mess up their plan in the 2021 MLS SuperDraft on Thursday afternoon as they selected one of their own, in midfielder Nicky Hernandez from SMU/North Texas SC.
Hernandez recently had signed a contract with the club’s USL-1 side North Texas SC. He played three seasons at Southern Methodist University, appearing in 48 matches and recording eight goals and nine assists. In nine games with NTSC in 2020, he scored three goals and added in one assist.
To say FC Dallas is familiar with Hernandez is a complete understatement.
