Jeremy Ebobisse, a U.S. under-20 national team forward, has withdrawn from Duke University and signed with MLS, the Insider has learned.
As a Generation Adidas signing, Ebobisse, 19, will be made available at the draft in January in Los Angeles. He is a likely top-five selection. Until then, he is expected to train with D.C. United or the third-division Richmond Kickers. Those squads were the natural options because of their proximity to his home in Bethesda, Md.
If he ends up with the Kickers on an MLS loan, Ebobisse would be eligible to play in USL matches.
