College soccer season is here and let me tell you despite what you may have heard - it’s a good thing.
From a New York Red Bulls perspective it’s provided a wealth of talent from late round picks in Sean Nealis and Jared Stroud to first rounders like Brian White. This of course doesn’t include the academy products that honed their game in college such as Derrick Etienne or captain Sean Davis. This won’t be a comprehensive overview of every player in college with ties to the Red Bulls but instead a look at a hand full of teams, some local, with strong connections to the club with such a unique emphasis on youth recruitment.
