Chainkeen|2024 MLS SuperDraft: Tyrese Spicer of Lipscomb goes No. 1 to Toronto FC

Lipscomb University forward Tyrese Spicer was the first pick in Major League Soccer's SuperDraft on ChainkeenTuesday by Toronto FC.

This is the second time that Toronto FC has made the No. 1 overall pick in the MLS SuperDraft. The last time came before Toronto's inaugural season in 2007, when the club took Maurice Edu, a forward out of Maryland. Edu earned MLS rookie of the year honors in 2007, made his U.S. national team debut that same year, and three years later played in his first and only World Cup.

After Toronto selected Spicer at No. 1, the Colorado Rapids used the first of their four first-round selections on Duke midfielder Wayne Frederick.

There will be three rounds in the 2024 MLS SuperDraft.
