Ally Watt is one of, if not the most, accomplished players in the history of Texas A&M soccer. Despite the fact that her time in Aggieland is done, though, her soccer career is far from over.

On Thursday, Watt was in attendance for the National Women's Soccer League (NWSL) draft and heard her name called early.

Watt was selected in the first round with the No. 6 overall pick by the North Carolina Courage.

Watt was behind only No. 1 pick Sophia Smith out of Stanford - who actually declared two years early, No. 2 pick Morgan Weaver from Washington State, No. 3 pick Taylor Kornieck from Colorado, No. 4 pick Ashley Sanchez from UCLA and No. 5 pick Evelyne Viens from USF.

A 5-foot-8 forward, Watt came to A&M from Colorado Springs (Col.) Pine Creek in the class of 2015. She played in every game as a true freshman, starting 16, while being named to the SEC All-Freshman team.

After redshirting in 2016 as she took part in the FIFA U20 Women's Wold Cup, Watt returned to the pitch for A&M in 2017 and showed glimpes of what was to come. She led the team in both points (24) and goals (11) as a third-year sophomore that season as the Aggies made it to the second round of the NCAA tournament.

In 2018, Watt again led the team in points (33) and goals (15) en route to being named a first-team All-American by the United Soccer Coaches. That season, the Aggies reached the Sweet 16.

As a fifth-year senior in 2019, she had team highs again with 39 points and 16 goals. She again earned first-team All-American honors and was a semifinalist for the Mac Hermann Trophy, which goes to the nation's top player. A&M beat Texas in the first round of the NCAA Tournament before falling, 2-1, at No. 9 USC in the second round.

Watt goes into a very good situation in North Carolina as the Courage are the defending league champions. This year's season begins in April.
