Coach Embick and his staff have deservedly received a tremendous amount of positive press for their excellent coaching this year with Abdi Mohamed and Marco Micaletto. I would think that Akron will be an attractive location for transfers that are wanting to improve their skill set and be part of a winning culture (that also plays "beautiful soccer"). Morgan Hackworth is another transfer that improved tremendously during his time at Akron. Young men with a desire to learn and a high soccer IQ....will always fit in well in the Akron soccer program. I always loved the effort that I saw from Faisal Ghaffur when he was on the field. Injuries had a huge impact on Faisal during his time at Akron. Best wishes for this young man in college and life...wherever he ends up. Thank you for always giving 110% on the field.

Zip_ME87, that is a great format to look at the roster. Thanks for taking the time to sort the roster out by year. Skye Harter has been a great team member for many years. Would love to see Skye and the other student athletes achieve a 2nd star next fall.
