Three Canadians drawing attention ahead of MLS SuperDraft Globe_Sports
Syracuse University soccer player Ryan Raposo dribbles the ball during a game against Rhode Island on Nov. 21, 2019.Canadian Ryan Raposo has a chip on his shoulder going into Thursday’s MLS SuperDraft.
The 20-year-old Raposo, along with fellow Canadians Alistair Johnston and Dayonn Harris, have drawn attention heading into the draft. “Ryan’s resilience, his mental toughness, his constant belief in himself made him very special,” said Gheisar. While no behemoth today – he’s listed at five foot seven and 145 pounds – Raposo is not afraid to throw his weight around in 50-50 challenges. And he knows the way to goal, both for himself and others.
Thanks to a trade with the Los Angeles Galaxy involving allocation order, Toronto FC has two first-round picks: the 19th and 25th. Harris, meanwhile, joined Raposo and some 38 other players at the MLS College Showcase in mid-December in Raleigh, N.C. Raposo scored in his scrimmage and interviewed with nine MLS teams including Montreal.
