Spicer Goes Number One In MLS Super Draft

Tyrese Spicer created history today when he became the first Trinidad and Tobago National to be drafted Number One in MLS Super Draft. The MLS is the premier football league in the United States, and Spicer was selected with the Number One pick by Toronto FC. Spicer, a pre-signed senior, joins the Canadian club after a 2023 season where 14 goals, 3 assists in 16 games helped him earn First Team All-American, Atlantic Sun Conference Player of the Year and MAC Hermann Trophy Semi Finalist honours. Spicer registered 29 goals, 18 assists through 57 overall appearances for Lipscomb. He is Toronto's first addition for 2024 under General Manager Jason Hernandez and Head Coach John Herdman, their new regime that's hoping to improve on a bottom-of-the-league table finish that led to Bob Bradley's departure midway through the 2023 season. The Reds scored just 26 goals last year, tied for the fewest in MLS. Meanwhile another Trinidad and Tobago player, Wayne Fredrick, was selected Number Two by the Colorado Rapids. The midfielder competed for Duke University at the collegiate level.
