The college soccer season kicks off today and while there is a large number of top prospects bypassing college to turn pro, there is still plenty of talent to watch for those wondering about which players will be turning pro in the coming years.
There are two different groups of players to keep an eye on. On one side, you have players who could be part of the 2017 MLS Draft, and you have players who could be signing homegrown player deals.
Here are the players to keep an eye on for the upcoming college season:

Wasn’t Bryan Iloski a galaxy academy kid?
I’m told he’s not going to be a HG.
what about Jason Wright?
He’s a junior, not currently on the GA radar.
Glad my nephew made the list!!
Shouldn’t Ian Harkes be listed as a DC United homegrown?
I’ve been told he won’t be.
Any indication as to why?
Shouldn’t David Olsen be a Sounders home grown
