MEMPHIS, Tenn. – Memphis 901 FC today announced the signing of former top-ten MLS SuperDraft selection and 23-year-old defender Patrick Seagrist pending league and federation approval.
Drafted by the New York Red Bulls with the 10th overall selection in the 2020 MLS SuperDraft, Seagrist made three appearances for the MLS side before signing with Inter Miami CF in Dec. 2020. Seagrist spent the 2021 season on loan from Miami with Indy Eleven with which the defender made 29 appearances.
“Patrick is a very athletic and aggressive left back that can get up and down effortlessly,” Head Coach Ben Pirmann said. “We identified him very early as a key signing and are thrilled he has chosen to be with us for 2022.”
“Patrick’s ability to get into the attack with well-timed runs and excellent technique will fit perfectly into our structure,” Pirmann added. “We anticipate Patrick to be a massive part of our successes in 2022.”
Prior to being drafted by the Red Bulls, Seagrist was a four-year letter winner at Marquette where the defender started 63 of 65 appearances and recorded six goals and 16 assists. Seagrist was named to the All-BIG EAST First Team his junior and senior year.
“I am beyond excited to be joining the 901 and representing the city of Memphis,” Seagrist said. “To play for a team that shows both togetherness and grit suits me as a player in my position and I can’t wait to meet the guys and build off a successful 2021 campaign.”
