CHICAGO – Seattle Sounders FC announced on Tuesday that they have signed Indiana University men's soccer's Trey Muse to a Homegrown Player contract. Muse will forego his final two seasons of eligibility with the Hoosiers.
In just two seasons at Indiana, Muse established himself as one of the finest goalkeepers in program history. The Louisville, Ky. native leaves Bloomington ranked tied for fifth in career shutouts with 30 and tied for 10th in career victories with 38. Muse also ends his time with IU as the NCAA DI active leader in shutouts, save percentage (0.848) and goals-against average (0.393).
"Without a doubt, Trey will go down as one of our all-time great goalkeepers," Indiana head coach Todd Yeagley remarked. "His numbers are among the best in NCAA history. Trey has a wonderful opportunity in Seattle to play for an excellent club with a rich history. I expect Trey to have a long and successful professional career."
In 2018, Muse was a unanimous First-Team All-America selection and was named Big Ten Goalkeeper of the Year and First-Team All-Big Ten. A MAC Hermann Trophy semifinalist and First-Team All-North Region honoree, Muse started all 24 matches for IU, posting 12 solo shutouts and a Big Ten-best 0.541 goals-against average.
As a freshman, Muse was tremendous, leading the NCAA in shutouts (18), goals-against average (.260), save percentage (0.903) and goalie minutes played (2416:18) to earn First-Team Freshman All-America accolades and Second-Team All-Big Ten honors. Muse's 18 solo shutouts matched the NCAA and IU single-season records, while his goals-against average was the fourth-best in NCAA history.
For his career, Muse started all 49 matches in which he appeared, allowing just 20 goals and posting a goals-against average of 0.393 with 112 saves.
"I'd like to thank Coach Yeagley and the staff for giving me the opportunity to play at Indiana University," Muse said. "They have helped me grow in my two years on the field and in life. I am fortunate to be in this position from the help of my coaches and teammates. I am proud to be a Hoosier."
Muse is the fourth player in Indiana history to sign a Homegrown Player contract, joining Grant Lillard (Chicago Fire, 2018), Patrick Doody (Chicago Fire, 2015) and Tommy Thompson (San Jose Earthquakes, 2014).
