Shawn McLaws, we barely knew ye.

The New York Red Bulls officially waived their 2015 MLS SuperDraft pick Friday afternoon. He joins former teammate Manolo Sanchez and trialist Ryan Cochran as the first Red Bulls cuts of the preseason.

McLaws did not make the senior team last season. However, he was a fixture with New York Red Bulls II of the USL, earning 21 starts and appearances, netting a goal and an assist on the season.

The 59th overall pick of last year’s draft, McLaws showed well for the USL reserve team but failed to parlay that into regular minutes with the first team. As of this report, there is no clear indication where the Coastal Carolina University product and Oklahoma native will land next.

The Red Bulls continue to move forward with their shortened preseason training in Hanover, New Jersey before taking off to Orlando this coming Monday.
