Who is Tyrese Spicer, the MLS Superdraft 1st pick?

The 23-year-old Spicer, previously a part of Lipscomb University in Nashville, Tennessee, is now set to travel to Canada to embark on his first professional venture with a team in the North American league.

Being the number one pick in the MLS SuperDraft is a really exhilarating feeling. I worked very hard for this and I want to thank God because without Him, this wouldn’t have happened. I also want to thank my dad, my mom, and everyone at Lipscomb University.”
