CINCINNATI - FC Cincinnati added forward Rashawn Dally with the No. 49 overall selection in the 2019 MLS SuperDraft, bringing the club's total to six overall selections in its first-ever college draft. Dally becomes the first-ever Quinnipiac player selected in the MLS SuperDraft after featuring as a four-year starter for the Bobcats.

Dally was FCC's only selection in the third and fourth rounds. The club entered the day with three picks in the final two rounds, but chose to pass in its final two selections: No. 61 overall (third round, No. 13) and No. 85 overall (fourth round, No. 13).

MLS SuperDraft Third Round Summary:

- Selected forward Rashawn Dally from Quinnipiac with No. 49 pick overall (third round, No. 1)

Dally played four seasons at Quinnipiac (2015-18), playing 78 games and recording 77 starts. The Bloomfield, Conn., native scored 16 goals and added 15 assists in his career with the Bobcats. The forward was invited to the Jamaica National Team senior camp in March 2018 and has experience in camps with Jamaica at various youth levels.
