This is Part 24 in a series of articles on the players that make up the 2015 Los Angeles Galaxy as their enter their 20th year of existence. Exclusively on The View From Avalon, part of the FanSided Network.

Who is Ignacio Maganto? Some might argue he is a young protege of “The Most Interesting Man In The World.” Others may say that Maganto, at 5’8″ and 140 lbs., is the sleeper pick with the skills to blow your mind a la Gyasi Zardes. Still other will say that he is another piece to the missing postseason puzzle for LA Galaxy II. But whatever the case may be, Ignacio Maganto is one of three rookies hoping to strike it rich with Bruce Arena’s Los Angeles Galaxy.

The story of Ignacio “Nacho” Maganto begins in Madrid, Spain, his hometown. After spending his high school days at Nuestra Senora del Pilar, Maganto began his playing career playing youth soccer at Getafe CF. The lure of a college education proved too strong for Nacho, and in 2011, he began the first of four years playing for the Gaels of Iona College.

In 2011, Maganto was named to the NSCAA Men’s Division All-North Atlantic Third Team, MAAC All-Rookie Team and All-MAAC Second Team. That season, Maganto, scored six goals, including two game winners, and registered four assists on the season., with 47 total shots and 21 on goal. In 2012, Maganto was an All-MAAC Second Team Selection and MAAC All-Academic Team selection. It wasn’t as productive a year, as he only appeared in 14 games for the Gaels, making 11 starts, while recording one goal and two assists.

In 2013, Maganto was named to the NSCAA/Continental Tire NCAA Division I Men’s All-North Atlantic Region First Team, All-MAAC First Team and MAAC All-Academic Team. He finished the season with 21 points on nine goals and three assists.

The awards piled on for Maganto last year: NSCAA Scholar All-American Second Team selection, SCAA/Continental Tire NCAA Division I Men’s All-North Atlantic Region First Team, MAAC Offensive Player of the Year, ECAC All-Star First Team, All-MAAC First Team and MAAC All-Academic Team. As a result, Maganto was picked 21st overall in the first round of the 2015 MLS SuperDraft by the Galaxy.

Another rookie that will look to impress is Daniel Keller, a 6’0″, 155-lbs defender that is sure to add depth and consistency to the back line of the Galaxy. Keller was born in Carmel, Ind. and attended Brebeuf Jesuit Prep School before enrolling at Louisville. Aside from prep soccer, Keller played for Indiana United, leading that team to four straight Indiana State Cup titles. During his time with Louisville, Keller played for PDL side Chicago Fire Premier.

After redshirting in 2010, Keller appeared in 12 matches in 2011 and started in one of those matches, against the Connecticut Huskies. In 2012, Keller started all 21 games that he took part in, leading the Cardinal defense to seven shutouts while scoring against UC Irvine. 2013 saw Keller start 18 of the 19 game he appeared, scoring three game-winning goals to go with one assist. In 2014, Keller started all 22 matches on the Cardinals’ backline in 2014 and would finish with 62 career starts, 74 caps, six goals and four assists. Keller was picked in the third round by the Galaxy as the 62nd overall selection.

Goalkeeper Andrew Wolverton is someone that is fortunate to even be drafted, as the goalkeeper situation at Los Angeles is pretty much taken care of. However, this 6’6″, 222-lbs netminder from Atlanta, Ga. is sure to add competition and is ready to contribute if necessary. Wolverton was born on Jun. 4, 1993 in Atlanta and spent his youth career for St. Pius X Catholic High School and Concorde Fire, leading the Golden Lions of Pius X to state championships in 2009 and 2011.

Wolverton started all 22 games for the Nittany Lions in his first season, recording a 9-9-4 record. Wolverton, who was named as a Third Team All-Freshman by College Soccer News, did well enough in 2011 that he was invited to winter training camp for the U.S. Under-20 Men’s National Team. Prior to the invite, Wolverton was named to the U.S. Under-18 Men’s National Team and also played at the IMG Academy in Bradenton, Fla.

2012 was a slow year for Wolverton, as he started in eight matches while appearing in 10 overall. 2013 was Wolverton’s best year: he started all 21 matches and played every minute and was named Big Ten Goalkeeper of the Year and named to the All Big Ten First Team. 2014 saw a slight drop in form, as Wolverton started 19 matches, making 64 saves and earning All Big Ten second team honors, as well as a slew of preseason honors. Wolverton was picked 82nd overall by the Galaxy in the fourth round of the 2015 MLS SuperDraft.
