NEW YORK, N.Y. -- CSUN forward Jamar Ricketts and UC Irvine goalkeeper Luke Pruter were selected in Tuesday's 2024 MLS SuperDraft. 

The draftees become the 54th and 55th Big West men's soccer players, respectively, to be selected in the history of the MLS SuperDraft. 

Ricketts becomes the 11th Matador to be selected and the third CSUN player ever to be selected in the first round. The Montclair, N.J. product had a banner season for the Matadors in 2023, being named to the All-Big West First Team and All-Far West Region Second Team, scoring a career-high eight goals while five assists. Ricketts led the nation in shot on goal percentage at a .622 clip. The three-year Matador was a member of the All-Big West First Team and All-Far West Region Second Team in 2022 and an All-Freshman Team selection in 2021.

Pruter is the ninth Anteater to be selected in the MLS SuperDraft. The Palos Verdes Estates, Calif. native was a wall for the UC Irvine defense in 2023, compiling 51 saves for a .708 save percentage and 1.04 goals-against average, en route to an All-Big West Second Team and All-Far West Region Second team honors. Pruter helmed the Anteaters from the cage to the 2023 Big West Championship title, including making the game-winning penalty kick save to clinch the crown. The goalie spent three years at UC Irvine amassing 143 starts over the course of 45 games.
