Nashville SC signed midfielder Irakoze Donasiyano, the 20th overall selection in the 2021 MLS Super Draft, to a one-year contract Wednesday with club options through the 2024 season.
The University of Virginia product has been working out with the team since earlier this month. He played in 65 games at Virginia over four seasons with 56 starts and played every Cavaliers game in each of the past two seasons. Koze has a lot of positive attributes that really mesh well with our team, Nashville general manager Mike Jacobs said in a statement. His athleticism and work-rate help him cover a lot of ground on both sides of the ball, and he has a tremendous attitude and energy that make him a real competitor. His versatility enables him to play multiple roles in the group as well.
Congratulations to Northside High School grad (and Virginia Tech student) Daniel Pereira for being the number one pick in the recent Major League Soccer draft.
“That dream and that idea just kept kind of growing,” Hope-Gund said, “and I was like, ‘You know what? This could be a possibility for me.’”
On Thursday, that possibility turned into reality. Orlando City selected Hope-Gund with the 19th overall pick in the MLS SuperDraft, one of several local players chosen by MLS teams in the first round.
His Hoyas teammate, forward Derek Dodson, also went to Orlando with the eighth pick. Virginia Tech standout Daniel Pereira was chosen by Austin FC first overall. Virginia’s Bret Halsey and Irakoze Donasiyano went to Real Salt Lake and Nashville SC, respectively, and Toronto FC selected Maryland’s Matt Di Rosa.
