Air Force senior Tucker Bone and Florida International senior Santiago Patino were MAC Hermann Trophy semifinalists a year ago and they lead a group of 31 players on the Men’s Watch List for the upcoming 2018 season. Ten of the 31 players were United Soccer Coaches All-Americans in 2017.
A total of 44 players are included on the Women’s Watch List, headlined by 2017 finalist Jessie Fleming of UCLA and five semifinalists; Stanford junior Tierna Davidson, South Carolina junior Grace Fisk, Stanford sophomore Catarina Macario, UCLA senior Hailie Mace and Rutgers senior Casey Murphy.
