BOSTON - Attackman Jeremy Boltus was selected No.1 overall by the Atlanta Blaze in the 2016 MLL Supplemental Draft on Wednesday, making this the fifth team in Boltus' professional career.

Boltus was originally selected in the 2011 Collegiate Draft by the Hamilton Nationals and became the Nationals' leading scorer with 19 goals. He went on to become the 2011 Cascade MLL Rookie of the Year. The Charlotte Hounds picked up Boltus with the 2012 MLL Expansion Draft with the 2nd overall pick. The Army graduate played the next season with the Denver Outlaws before serving a nine-month deployment to Afghanistan in 2014. Boltus joined the Rochester Rattlers in 2015 and was named the Coca Cola Player MVP for the 2015 MLL All Star Game for his 6 goal performance.

The Supplemental Draft, designed to strengthen teams' rosters from 23 to 35 players, had draft pick trades between the Hounds and the Chesapeake Bayhawks in the first round. The Hounds traded their 2nd and 20th overall picks in exchange for the Bayhawks' 4th and 13th overall selections.
