About the MLS SuperDraft
The SuperDraft is the player acquisition mechanism in which MLS teams select the top collegiate players in the United States.
In 2021, the SuperDraft will consist of three rounds in which players can be selected. Clubs will make their selections in reverse order of the 2020 regular season standings, taking into account postseason performance in the Audi 2020 MLS Cup Playoffs. The Quakes currently hold the 12th pick in the first, second and third round. Click here to view the complete draft order.
Which players can be selected?
Players eligible for selection include college seniors, Generation adidas players, and players that have waived their college eligibility by signing to play in a domestic professional league.
