BLOOMINGTON, Ind. — Indiana men's soccer sophomore forward Collins Oduro announced on Sunday (Jan. 19) his intention to play his junior season at IU after Orlando City SC selected him in the 2025 MLS SuperDraft.
Orlando City drafted Oduro in the second round on the draft with the No. 57 overall selection.
"It is a dream come true to be selected by Orlando City SC in the MLS SuperDraft," Oduro said in an Instagram post. "I want to, first and foremost, thank God for making this possible and bringing me all the way from Bibiani to Orlando.
"Thanks to the Right to Dream Academy, Indiana men's soccer and all my coaches for getting me to this stage through just two seasons at IU. Thank you to my teammates and everyone who has made an impact on me along the way.
"After careful consideration, I have decided to return to IU for another year. I can't wait to get back to work and help this team get back to the College Cup."
Oduro has recorded eight goals and seven assists over two seasons in Bloomington, helping the Hoosiers win three Big Ten Championships.
