Last week, Major League Soccer (MLS) released its top-selling jerseys for 2025, and three players in the top 10 were former college players. The Columbus Crew’s Darlington Nagbe came in at fifth. The Seattle Sounders’ Jordan Morris is ranked right behind in sixth, and Charlotte FC’s Patrick Agyemang is ranked ninth. 

Here is a breakdown of all three players’ college careers:

Darlington Nagbe – University of Akron

Darlington Nagbe is a college soccer legend with his junior year in 2010 being his most standout season. He finished that campaign with 20 goal contributions (7g/13a) and led Akron to their first-ever national championship in any sport. He was also an NSCAA First Team All-American and won the Missouri Athletics Club Hermann Trophy. He signed a Generation Adidas contract after that season and was selected second overall by the Portland Timbers in the 2011 SuperDraft.

Jordan Morris – Stanford University

Jordan Morris, like Nagbe, won all the top awards during his junior season. He was an NSCAA First Team All-American in 2015 and won the MAC Hermann Trophy that same year. He also helped lead the Cardinals to their first national championship in 2015. Morris finished his three-year career at Stanford with 52 starts and 39 goal contributions (23g/16a). Morris opted out of the draft and signed with the Sounders as a homegrown player.

Patrick Agyemang – University of Rhode Island

Patrick Agyemang’s college career differed significantly from those of Nagbe and Morris. He began playing college soccer in Division III before transferring to Rhode Island. In his Rhode Island career, Agyemang made 33 starts and had 31 goal contributions (19g/12a). He was named to the Atlantic 10 All-Conference First Team in 2021 and 2022. Charlotte FC selected Agyemang with the 12th pick in the 2023 SuperDraft.

Two weeks after podcaster and former Boston University soccer player Alex Cooper accused the team’s former head coach Nancy Feldman of sexual harassment, the reason for another coach’s resignation has come to light.

Casey Brown, Feldman’s successor, was placed on administrative leave midway through the 2024 season and formally resigned in December. Her resignation came after BU commissioned an investigation into complaints from 18 players, the Boston Globe reported in a story published Wednesday, June 25.

The investigation into Casey, 37, began when current team member Shayla Brown (no relation) contacted the university’s confidential ethics hotline saying the coach was behaving inappropriately toward one of her teammates, “focusing excessively on her and trying to manipulate her in ways that were distressing to the player and her teammates,” according to the Globe.

Shayla, a rising senior for the Terriers, also reported the allegations to the team’s sports psychologist, saying the unnamed player was “being groomed.”

Shayla and 17 of her teammates reported the allegations to BU’s Equal Opportunity Office the next day, and the player in question shared their experience as well.

The player allegedly told both the office and the Globe that Casey “fawned over her” over a two-year span, sending her “a stream of awkward texts, unsettling invitations and unwanted attention.”

Casey “strongly” denied the allegations in a statement to the Globe. Us Weekly has reached out to BU for comment.

“At the conclusion of the investigation, there were no BU policy violations and no evidence of sexual harassment,” BU told the Globe in a statement. “Nevertheless, BU and Brown parted ways, and Brown is no longer the head coach.”

The accusations became public just two weeks after Cooper, 30, opened up about the harassment she allegedly faced from Feldman in her Hulu docuseries, Call Her Alex.

The “Call Her Daddy” host said that beginning in her sophomore year with the Terriers, Feldman began fixating on her in a way that made her “deeply uncomfortable.”

“It was confusing because the focus wasn’t like, ‘You’re doing so well. Let’s get you on the field. You’re going to be a starter,’” she explained. “[It] was all based in her wanting to know who I was dating, her making comments about my body and her always wanting to be alone with me.”

Cooper and her parents say they alerted the BU athletic department about the issue, including providing officials with written documentation of Feldman’s alleged inappropriate comments, but the university failed to take action. Feldman retired in 2022.

“Boston University has a zero-tolerance policy for sexual harassment. We have a robust system of resources, support and staff dedicated to student well-being and a thorough reporting process through our Equal Opportunity Office,” the university said in a statement to People on June 12. “We encourage members of our community to report any concerns, and we remain committed to fostering a safe and secure campus environment for all.”
