Whetting the appetite for a brand new Major League Soccer season, the 2022 MLS SuperDraft took place yesterday with Orlando City SC making three picks overall.
After Oscar Pareja‘s Lions selected Jack Lynn, Nathan Dossantos (pictured), and Nick Taylor, Orlando City UK found out a little more about each individual college talent acquired in the draft.
What picks did Orlando City SC have?
Heading into the 2022 MLS SuperDraft, Orlando City SC had the 18th, 46th and 74th overall picks.
It was heavily anticipated that Luiz Muzzi and the Orlando City SC Front Office would be signing a striker in the draft.
After all, Tesho Akindele is the only out-and-out striker on the Lions’ roster following Daryl Dike’s exit.
Things turned out as expected with Orlando City SC making the University of Notre Dame’s Jack Lynn their first 2022 pick.
Without further ado, here is the identity of the three college talents that Orlando City SC got their hands on in the 2022 MLS SuperDraft.
