BALTIMORE, Md. -- Former University of Michigan men's soccer forward Knox Cameron (Bronx, N.Y./Cardinal Spellman HS) was selected by the Columbus Crew with the 44th overall pick of 2005 Major League Soccer SuperDraft. The draft was held today (Friday, Jan. 14) in conjunction with the 2005 National Soccer Coaches Association of America National Convention.
Cameron was the 2003 Big Ten Conference Player of the Year and was named to the M.A.C. Hermann Trophy watch list prior to the 2004 season, but a knee injury forced him to miss the majority of the 2004 campaign. Cameron was able to return to the lineup late in the season and help the Wolverines secure an at-large bid to the NCAA Tournament with three points over the final six games of the season. For his career, Cameron is second all-time at Michigan in both points and goals with 72 points on 28 goals and 16 assists.
Cameron is the second Wolverine to be drafted into the MLS. In the 2004 MLS SuperDraft, Kevin Taylor (2000-03) was selected with the 25th overall pick by the Colorado Rapids.
Columbus opens up the 2005 season on April 2 with a home match against the Los Angeles Galaxy.
