NEW YORK (AP) — Tyrese Spicer, a high-scoring winger from Lipscomb University, was selected by Toronto with the top pick in the Major League Soccer draft on Tuesday.

The 23-year-old junior from Trinidad and Tobago had 14 goals this season, scoring in his first 10 matches, to give him 29 goals in 57 career college games. He was among 15 semifinalists this year for the Hermann Trophy, awarded to the top college soccer player. He was not among the three finalists for the award, to be announced Jan. 5.

Colorado selected Duke midfielder Wayne Frederick second, Dallas took Oregon State forward Logan Farrington third and Colorado went for Maryland forward Kimani Stewart-Baynes fourth.

Austin took Washington defender Nate Jones fifth and traded him to Colorado for $250,000 in 2024 general allocation money and the 31st pick, which it used to select Texas-Rio Grande midfielder Bryant Farkarlun.
