KINGSTON, R.I. - Rhode Island's Patrick Agyemang is one of 44 players nationally to receive an invitation to the Major League Soccer College Showcase that will take place from Dec. 9-12 in Raleigh, N.C. The MLS released the list of invitees for the showcase Tuesday afternoon.

The third-ever adidas MLS College Showcase will be held in conjunction with the 2022 NCAA Men's College Cup and in advance of the 2023 MLS SuperDraft presented by adidas on Dec. 21. It will feature 44 top college players, ranging from freshmen to graduate students, participating in a series of training sessions, testing, interviews, and match play.
 
This event will allow MLS clubs to scout and interact with potential MLS SuperDraft selections across different stages of their collegiate careers without jeopardizing players' collegiate eligibility. The 2022 adidas MLS College Showcase is a closed event and only open to MLS club technical staffs.
 
"We are excited to once again host the adidas MLS College Showcase to provide an opportunity for top college soccer players to display their talents in front of each MLS Clubs' technical staff," said Alecko Eskandarian, MLS Senior Director, Player Relations & Player Development.
 
"We appreciate and value the role of college soccer in the player development pathway and have seen many players go on to have successful professional careers after competing in the college ranks. We are thankful for the support from the NCAA and college soccer programs around the country to help execute this event."
