Ryan James Invited to MLS Combine
December 12, 2015 | Men's Soccer
BGSU senior to showcase his talents in front of all 20 MLS clubs
Bowling Green State University men's soccer standout Ryan James has been invited to participate in the 2016 adidas MLS Player Combine. James is one of 59 top players from across the country who will showcase their talents in front of representatives from all 20 MLS clubs in Fort Lauderdale, Fla., from Jan. 7-12, 2016.
All invited players will be eligible for selection in the 2016 SuperDraft presented by adidas that will take place on Thursday, Jan. 14, in Baltimore, Md.

"We are excited for Ryan," said BGSU head coach Eric Nichols. "He has proven to be one of the top players in the nation over the last four years, and I am confident that he will show very well at the combine."
James, a native of Mississauga, Ontario (Loyola Catholic Secondary), started all 19 matches this season, and played in all 79 of BG's matches in his four-year career, starting 69. He had 13 points on four goals and five assists in 2015. James tied for the team assists lead, and was fourth on the Falcons in both goals and points. He scored BG's first and last goals of the year, with the opening goal in the Falcons' season-opening win over SIUE and the match-winning goal at Appalachian State. James had a four-point match against Evansville, figuring in the scoring of all three BGSU goals, and had two assists vs. Cleveland State. James, who was named to the All-Mid-American Conference Second Team, played in 1719 of a possible 1756 minutes in 2015, and was a finalist for the Senior CLASS Award. James scored 33 career points on nine goals and 15 assists.
A committee of MLS coaches and NCAA Division I coaches from every conference selected the invitees, all of whom completed their college eligibility this season. Additional invitees, including Generation adidas signings, non-collegiate players, and more college seniors, will be announced in the coming weeks. A mix of collegiate soccer head coaches and MLS Academy personnel will make up the Combine coaching staff.
The Falcons finished the season with an overall record of 9-9-1. James was one of just three seniors on the Falcons' 26-man roster in 2015.
