Regional Roots, National Ambition
Saint Joseph's University has unveiled its 2026 men's soccer roster, bringing in a record‑breaking 15 newcomers who will join the existing squad and aim to elevate the program's national profile.
The incoming class is distinguished by a strong regional footprint, with twelve players hailing from Pennsylvania and New Jersey, underscoring the program's deep ties to the Mid‑Atlantic talent pool.
Every recruit boasts experience in either MLS NEXT or the Elite Clubs National League, a testament to the high level of competition they have already faced.
Coach Tim Mulqueen praised the group for their competitive pedigree, strong character and relentless work ethic, noting that the blend of skill and mindset will be pivotal for the team's ambitions.
Among the freshmen, athletes such as Timmy Comey, Juan Correa, Carter Courtney, Chase Lee, Marko Maric, Will Powers, Colin Priestley, Alex Smith, Ronan Sullivan, Declan Sullivan and Will Turk represent a mix of midfield dynamism, defensive solidity and goalkeeping promise, each rooted in communities across the Mid‑Atlantic.
The four transfers — Sebastian Delacruz, Logan LaMaina, Peter Morano and Connor Winters — add further depth, bringing experience from Florida, Pennsylvania and North Carolina and having previously competed in high‑profile youth circuits.
With a blend of local talent and seasoned transfers, the Hawks enter the upcoming season poised to build on recent successes and contend strongly within their conference, a prospect that has the campus community eagerly anticipating.
