LOS ANGELES - Jalen Brown of Xavier men's soccer was selected by New York City FC in the second round (38th overall) of the 2017 MLS SuperDraft on Friday at the Los Angeles Convention Center.
After a week at the MLS Combine and a massive open field goal in the final exhibition of the event, Brown becomes the third Musketeer to be drafted in the last six years.
Nick Hagglund was the last XU soccer player drafted prior to Brown, going 10th overall to Toronto FC in 2014. Luke Spencer, who went to New England with the 22nd pick of the 2013 draft, was Xavier's first-ever MLS draft pick.
