How Former Juniors Fared in College

Sporting KC founded their academy system over 5 years ago now.  The system has produced 2 professionals that have been prompted to the first team, Jon Kempin and Kevin Ellis, both of which have made their first team debut, appearing in US Open Cup games.  The system has also produced Jacole Turner, who has trained with the US U18 national team and has had trials abroad.  While the players still in the academy system are in the middle of their academy season, a number of former Juniors players just finished their collegiate season.  Here's a look at the former Juniors that are in the collegiate rank and how they did.  You'll have the player's name, their college, their position, and their year in school.
