Canadians 🇨🇦 Ryan Raposo, Alistair Johnston and Dayonn Harris are getting some buzz ahead of Thursday’s MLS SuperDraft.
TORONTO — Canadian Ryan Raposo has a chip on his shoulder going into Thursday’s MLS SuperDraft.
“My priorities have stayed the same ever since I can remember,” he added. “I’ve always wanted to be a pro footballer. That’s never changed once for me.” “We’re hoping that all three of them can make an impact and go in the first round and be somewhere where they’re given an opportunity to do well and show what they can do,” said a proud Patrice Gheisar, Vaughan SC’s technical director of high performance.“Ryan’s resilience, his mental toughness, his constant belief in himself made him very special,” said Gheisar.
“What I love about him is his mentality. He’s a winner. He’s always looking to make something happen and he has that kind of drive and aggression that will translate well to the professional level as well,” he added. The first two rounds of the draft go Thursday with the third and fourth taking place via conference call on Jan. 13.
Raposo joined Clemson junior forward Robbie Robinson, Indiana sophomore defender Jack Maher and Virginia junior centre back Henry Kessler as member of the Generation Adidas class. The talented underclassmen signed deals that won’t count against team salary caps, making them all the more attractive picks.
