Despite twelve teams passing on at least one of their late round selections, Minnesota United made use of both picks acquired from Orlando last week and added a pair of names to its preseason camp options on Day 2 of the MLS SuperDraft, taking Northern Illinois forward Kevin Rodriguez and University of Rio Grande center back Mitchell Osmond with their 4th round picks.
Kevin Rodriguez comes to the Loons after a four-year career for the Northern Illinois Huskies. Primarily playing as a winger, Rodriguez broke out in 2018 to tally two goals and nine assists on the season, earning the team’s first appearances in the Mid-American Conference Best XI and United Soccer Coaches All-Region Teams since 2015.
