Canadian youth international hopeful Babayele Sodade was the only player selected from this country at today’s MLS SuperDraft.
A duel US/Canadian citizen, Sodade grew up in Windsor, ON, and is currently part of the Canadian Olympic team pool. He’s not cap tied, but it’s a long way off from that being a concern.
Seattle selected Sodade in the second round, with the 34th pick overall.
He’s a big forward that impressed at the combine with his raw athletic ability. The key word there is raw – he’s far from a finished product.
At Seattle he will likely get a good look. As a big, target forward he would appear to have the potential to compliment Seattle’s more technically skilled players.
He will not take up an international spot for the Sounders.
