On January 9, 2020, the Lions selected forward Daryl Dike out of the University of Virginia with the fifth-overall pick in the 2020 MLS SuperDraft.
Fast forward to 10 months later, the Edmond, Oklahoma native has made his presence felt throughout the league, while also putting his name into the conversation across the international landscape.
One of three finalists for the AT&T MLS Young Player of the Year award, Dike finished the regular-season with eight goals and four assists for the Lions, second only in goal contributions on the City side behind teammate Chris Mueller, turning heads with his impressive and rapid development.
