MLS Draft and Return
George Gelnovatch stated,
“To have them both back was unlikely, and you have two guys that are a handful.”
AJ Smith was at a Christmas party in Denmark, scrolling through a website on his phone that displayed the 2025 MLS SuperDraft results.
- Smith did not watch the draft, as the results were released through website updates on December 20, 2024.
- He waited for his teammate Nick Dang to get drafted, and eventually, Dang's second-round selection appeared on the screen.
When asked if his name would appear, Smith replied,
“Nah, maybe next year, if I have a good season.”
