Indianapolis, Ind. – United Soccer League (USL) franchise Indy Eleven announced on Friday that it has signed Corban University men's soccer standout goalkeeper Jordan Farr to a professional soccer contract. Farr becomes Corban's fourth-ever player to sign a professional contract following a career with the Warriors.

"Being a professional soccer player has been my dream since I could walk," said Farr. "I am so fortunate to be able to continue doing what I love at a very high level. I can't wait to live in my identity as a son of God on a professional soccer pitch. I couldn't be prouder to represent Corban as I embark on the exciting new journey."

Farr joins Corban head coach (and Warrior Alum) Aaron Lewis (1999 – Dallas Burn), former Warrior great Taurai Daka (2004 – Charlotte Eagles), and goalkeeper Steve Reese (FCM Bacau/Portland Timbers 2000 / 2007-08) as the fourth player to ever sign a professional contract or be drafted in the United States.

Farr capped off a standout career with the Warrior men's soccer program, owning the career goals-against-average record at 0.74 and the school record with 44 career shutouts. He also ranks No. 2 All-Time in NAIA history with those 44 shutouts, including nine during his senior season. He twice collected Cascade Collegiate Conference (CCC) Defensive Player of the Year plaudits, and he garnered NAIA All-America accolades as well.

On top of his efforts between the pipes for the Warriors, Farr also collected 2017 PDL All-Western Conference Team honors while playing with the Portland Timbers U23s. He was then the only NAIA goalkeeper to be named to the PDL's College 'Watch List'.

"We are very proud of Jordan and the work he has put in to earn this opportunity," said Corban University head men's soccer coach Aaron Lewis . "To have a player come from local roots, and develop through Salem and Corban University, is inspiring to many. Jordan is well-equipped to make the jump to the professional level, and I am confident he has what it takes to have a long professional career."

Farr is set to head to Indiana at the start of next week as the team begins its preseason training camp immediately.

Indy Eleven, located in Indianapolis currently part of the USL, recently launched its bid to bring Major League Soccer to the Hoosier State, hoping to join the MLS in 2020. The team will play its games during the 2018 season at Lucas Oil Stadium, home of the Indianapolis Colts.

Per club policy, terms of the contract will not be released.
