Academy Players in College

Here's this week's update of Sporting KC academy players currently in college. The list of players comes from Sporting's former academy players list (which has not been updated for this year yet) and the academy players who signed this past spring.

First this week, a commitment for the class of 2015. Sporting KC academy goalkeeper, Ryan Krutz has committed to play for Notre Dame.

Also this week, two players were given player of the week honors. First, freshman, Mason Leonard was named the Missouri Valley Conference Offensive Player of the Week. Leonard had a goal and an assist in Drake's 3-1 win over Green Bay. Meanwhile, in the Heart of America Athletic Conference, Benedictine goalkeeper, Tayler Vinnage was named Defensive Player of the Week, recording six saves in Benedictine's 0-0 draw with Bellevue.
