Orlando City SC had a busy off-season and with huge transfer fees and tons of allocation money being spent on the acquisitions of marquee names such as Sacha Kljestan, Justin Meram, and Josué Colmán, the addition of rookie forward Chris Mueller might have been a little overlooked by the fans.
Selected with the sixth pick in the MLS SuperDraft, Mueller, 21, joins Orlando following a four-year career at the University of Wisconsin. A standout in college, earning All-Big Ten First Team selections in 2016 and 2017 and being named 2017 Big Ten Offensive Player of the Year, the forward’s future in professional soccer is nothing but uncertain at this point, but there are definitely some factors that should make Orlando City fans excited about him.
