Three Pittsburgh Panthers were selected tonight in the MLS SuperDraft, the specific draft reserved for players coming through the NCAA system.
Among those selected were forward Bertin Jacquesson, midfielder Valentin Noel, and midfielder Jackson Walti.
Jacquesson was the first of the bunch to be selected, as the Frenchman was taken 16th overall by Real Salt Lake.
Jacquesson was an important source of offense during his three seasons in the Panther uniform, scoring 19 goals and providing 23 assists as well. He was the 2020 ACC Freshman of the year, as well as a three-time second-team all-conference player (2020, 2021, 2022).
