BLOOMINGTON, Ind. — Three Indiana men's soccer student-athletes – senior defender Jansen Miller, senior forward Samuel Sarver and sophomore forward Collins Oduro – received selections during the 2025 MLS SuperDraft Friday (Dec. 20).
In the first round, Sporting Kansas City selected Miller No. 8 overall. Miller's selection marks the eighth consecutive season that Indiana has produced a top-10 pick, the longest active streak in the NCAA.
Indiana has produced 66 MLS selections combining 54 SuperDraft picks, eight homegrown contracts and four supplemental draft picks. Since Todd Yeagley's first season as IU's head coach in 2010, 28 players have earned draft selections – including 12 in the first round – and eight have signed homegrown contracts and three more have been taken in the supplemental draft.
A fifth-year senior, Miller completed his third season with IU in 2024 after transferring from Xavier before the 2022 season. In 50 appearances, Miller helped IU keep 13 clean sheets and had two goals and five assists. In 2024, Miller contributed a career-high four assists and scored the golden goal in IU's NCAA Tournament Second Round win over Akron.
Miller is the first Hoosier selected in the draft by Kansas City since 2010, when the club was known as the Kansas City Wizards. Spencer Glass (2021) and Maouloune Goumballe (2023) each signed contracts with the club's second team, Sporting KC II, following their collegiate careers, and Goumballe remains with the organization.
FC Dallas used its second round – No. 41 overall – selection to pick two-time All-American Samuel Sarver. Sarver is the fourth Hoosier to reach the 70-career points milestone during the 21st century – first since Will bruin (2008-10) – and the 19th to earn multiple All-America awards. Sarver will join former IU teammate Herbert Endeley, a 2023 first-round selection, in Dallas.
Orlando City SC selected Oduro in the second round with the No. 57 overall pick. In two seasons at IU, Oduro has recorded eight goals, seven assists and 23 points in 44 appearances. Oduro is the first player in program history selected by Orlando.
