On to the show!
2021 All-American and two-time Ivy League Offensive Player of the Year Kevin O'Toole has been drafted by NYCFC in the Second Round of the 2022 MLS Superdraft.
The fifth Tiger all-time to hear his named called in the Superdraft and 11 drafted overall into MLS, O'Toole was the 34th player chosen this year and first Princeton player selected since Thomas Sanner was also picked in the Second Round (36th overall) by Vancouver.
"Princeton Soccer is thrilled for Kevin and his family," said head coach Jim Barlow. "It has been his dream to play professional soccer after his time at Princeton. He put that dream on hold for a year to come back to his team and he led us remarkably during our run to an undefeated Ivy League season and a trip to the NCAA Tournament. He's been a first-class player, student and leader during his Tiger career and it's awesome to see his efforts rewarded with a chance to play for NYCFC."
Over his career, O'Toole appeared in 58 matches, scoring 15 goals and adding 18 assists -- the fourth-most assists in a career by a Princeton player.
A two-time Ivy League Offensive Player of the Year, three-time United Soccer All-Region selection, and three-time first-team All-Ivy honoree, O'Toole posted seven goals and nine assists for 23 points as Princeton played its way to an Ivy League championship with just the second 7-0-0 Ivy season in program history. His nine assists this season are tied for No. 3 all-time in a season by a Tiger.
He was at his best when the games mattered most, tallying an Ivy-best six goals, six assists and 18 points during conference play.
Around the nation, O'Toole ranked No. 17 in total assists and No. 20 in assists-per-game (0.5).
