The Houston Dynamo selected forward Thorleifur Ulfarsson from Duke University with the 4th pick in today’s 2022 MLS SuperDraft. The Icelander scored 15 goals this season for the Blue Devils.
A Generation adidas player, Ulfarsson was a named first team All-American by multiple outlets. In his native Iceland, Ulfarsson began playing with the club Breidablik at age 6 and earned a place on the club’s U23 squad from 2017-20 as a teenager.
Ulfarsson is an out and out number 9, a position that the Dynamo are very thin at. With this draft pick and the rumored signing of Sebastian Ferreira, the forward position just got a huge upgrade.
