"Langsdorf is a player we've liked for a few years, all the way back to when he was at Stanford where he won three national championships," said head coach Ian Russell. "He just brings a really good mentality to the team. One thing that stands out is his work rate defensively, he can lead the press."

"He's scored 21 USL goals in the last two years," added Russell. "But he distributes the ball well, he's had 10 assists in the last two years."
With the signing, Reno's 2020 roster stands as follows:
Defenders: (4) Brent Richards, Thomas Janjigian, Yosimar Hernandez, Ayrton Statie
