The Revolution have added a 6-foot-4 defender to its back line.
Joshua Smith, selected 75th overall in the 2017 SuperDraft, officially joined the club on Wednesday following four seasons at the University of San Francisco.
The Fort Polk, La. native stood out from a crowded group of trialists during the preseason while logging 297 minutes of action. He added a goal during a 2-1 win over Sporting Kansas City.
In the end, no other trialist—including a handful of former first-round picks—latched on with the Revolution.
“I’m thankful to be in this environment. I’m a competitor, so I want to compete and work hard,” Smith said in a team release.
