He was named the College Cup Most Valuable Player before declaring for the professional ranks.

The now 22-year old midfielder played 82 games with the University of Maryland Terrapins, scoring 22 goals and adding 16 assists. Sejdic was named to the First Team All-Big 10 Conference twice (2016 and 2018) and to the Second Team All-North Region by United Soccer Coaches in 2018.

Born in Berlin of Bosnian parents, Sejdic's family moved to the United States when he was four. He now calls Louisville, Kentucky home and holds dual citizenship (US and Germany).
