Devon Sandoval now has company on the New Mexico United soccer roster.

The expansion United Soccer League (USL) team on Tuesday announced it has signed five new players besides Sandoval, the first commitment, Albuquerque native and University of New Mexico alumnus. They are: Juan Guzman (midfield, Bogota, Colombia, Liberty University), Dody Mizell (goalkeeper, Woodstock, Ga., Clemson), Joshua Suggs (defender), Las Cruces, Humboldt State), and Austin Yearwood (defender Charlotte, N.C., High Point University). Each of them has USL playing experience.

“We want humble, hard-working players that are open-minded to learning new concepts,” said Troy Lesesne, first-year coach, in a statement announcing the signings.

United is holding open tryouts Saturday, 9 a.m.-2 p.m., at Robertson Field, where UNM practices.
