FRISCO, Texas – After selecting Nicky Hernandez and Colin Shutler in the first and second rounds of the 2021 MLS SuperDraft, FC Dallas took two FCD Academy graduates and an international player with its three third-round picks.
With its initial third-round selection, FC Dallas took forward Thibaut Jacquel 75th overall out of Campbell University. Born in Saverne, France, Jacquel was part of FC Metz’s academy before coming stateside to continue his development and pursue a degree in communications.
“He’s an interesting player,” said FC Dallas Director of Soccer Operations
Marco Ferruzzi. “He’s a goal-scorer and an international student who seemingly adapted well to domestic soccer. We’re going to see how he does, he’s got some nice traits in front of goal. His numbers speak for themselves with what he did at Campbell. He’ll be another exciting prospect in our camp.”
