Last week, Major League Soccer (MLS) released its top-selling jerseys for 2025, and three players in the top 10 were former college players. The Columbus Crew’s Darlington Nagbe came in at fifth. The Seattle Sounders’ Jordan Morris is ranked right behind in sixth, and Charlotte FC’s Patrick Agyemang is ranked ninth.
Here is a breakdown of all three players’ college careers:
Darlington Nagbe – University of Akron
Darlington Nagbe is a college soccer legend with his junior year in 2010 being his most standout season. He finished that campaign with 20 goal contributions (7g/13a) and led Akron to their first-ever national championship in any sport. He was also an NSCAA First Team All-American and won the Missouri Athletics Club Hermann Trophy. He signed a Generation Adidas contract after that season and was selected second overall by the Portland Timbers in the 2011 SuperDraft.
Jordan Morris – Stanford University
Jordan Morris, like Nagbe, won all the top awards during his junior season. He was an NSCAA First Team All-American in 2015 and won the MAC Hermann Trophy that same year. He also helped lead the Cardinals to their first national championship in 2015. Morris finished his three-year career at Stanford with 52 starts and 39 goal contributions (23g/16a). Morris opted out of the draft and signed with the Sounders as a homegrown player.
Patrick Agyemang – University of Rhode Island
Patrick Agyemang’s college career differed significantly from those of Nagbe and Morris. He began playing college soccer in Division III before transferring to Rhode Island. In his Rhode Island career, Agyemang made 33 starts and had 31 goal contributions (19g/12a). He was named to the Atlantic 10 All-Conference First Team in 2021 and 2022. Charlotte FC selected Agyemang with the 12th pick in the 2023 SuperDraft.
