Five players were selected by the Philadelphia Union in the 2017 MLS SuperDraft, here’s a brief look at what each player brings to the club.

Marcus Epps (M/F-South Florida)

The Union traded up for this pick on January 13, and then selected the Mississippi native. Epps had met with the Union at the combine, but was unsure if he would be a realistic pick for them.

He has solid one-on-one ability that reveals a fantastic array of athletic prowess. At the moment he would fit in with the Union’s style of play, and has the ability to play on both the left and right wings. At South Florida, he tallied eight goals and nine assists in his collegiate career.

Aaron Jones (D-Clemson)

A native of England, Jones is an aggressive player that is a nice addition to the Union back-line. He will have to compete for playing time this season, but he shows a lot of promise moving forward, and manager Jim Curtin talked highly of the former Clemson player.

Chris Nanco (F-Syracuse)

The Syracuse star dropped down in the draft order after it appeared he may be selected in the second-round. However, this is still a good pick up for the Union. Nanco brings a lot of speed with him and was ranked No. 39 in the TopDrawerSoccer Top 100 players. He’s a smaller striker, but he knows how to produce up front. See the video below for his highlights with the Orangemen.

Jack Elliot (D/M-West Virginia)

Elliot is a towering figure at 6-foot-5, he anchored a defensive line that recorded eight shutouts, which was a program record. He scored two goals this season and recorded one assist, as well. At the moment, it’s hard to see him playing on the Union this season, but a season on the Bethlehem Steel could be a very realistic possibility for him.

Santi Moar (F-Pfeiffer)

Moar, a native of Spain, comes out of Division II school Pfeiffer. He scored 14 goals and racked up 19 assists in 20 appearances for the Falcons. The striker also was a member of the Charlotte Eagles in the PDL. He’s a player that we could see getting minutes in the USL for the Bethlehem Steel. Take a look at season highlights from his 2016 campaign to get a better look at the forward.
