The Wolfpack Men’s Soccer Team’s Freshman class was ranked by College Soccer News at number 28. The only bad news is 6 of the remaining 8 ACC Teams with Men’s Soccer programs rank in the top 11. There are several players CollegeSoccerNews.com has listed as Freshman to Watch for 2007, Tyler Lassiter a defender from Wakefield-Rolesville who played his club ball with CASAL Elite. The other Freshman on the list is Goalkeeper Brandyn Bumpas from Denver Colorodo.

Bumpas is one that, as a former goalkeeper, excites me. He has spent time with the US National U20 team and played for the same club team that produced Aaron King and John Queeley. I think he will be a great addition to the Wolfpack and I’m glad to see him wearing the Red and White. The Pack still has a long way to go to be able to continually compete with the remainder of the ACC.
