San Diego FC kicked off the SuperDraft by selecting midfielder Manu Duah out of UC Santa Barbara.

Because Duah has already signed a Generation adidas contract, he is guaranteed a spot on the San Diego FC roster, at least as a reserve, for three years.

The selection marks the first time in history a UCSB student has gone first overall in a professional draft. Duah earned the honor after impressing as a defensive midfielder in 14 games during his freshman college season.

The San Jose Earthquakes meanwhile drafted SLU defender Max Floriani with the second pick of the draft. A key part of the St. Louis defense for three seasons, he was the only pre-signed senior in the SuperDraft.

Chicago added Wisconsin forward Dean Boltz with the No. 3 pick, marking the highest draft position in program history. Boltz was named Big Ten Freshman of the Year after scoring 10 goals and adding four assists in his first college season.

Forward Sydney Wathuta and defender Max Murry were selected with back-to-back picks by Colorado and New York City after helping lead Vermont to a national championship.
