CJ Sapong is focused on his potential professional career after a successful collegiate season. "I am trying to get to the next level," Sapong said.
The forward leaves James Madison as one of the program's all-time players. Sapong ranks fifth in points (95), seventh in goals (37) and fourth in game-winning goals (12). He also earned four All-CAA First Team selections from 2007-10 culminating in being named the 2010 Colonial Athletic Association Player of the Year.
This past fall, the senior scored 12 goals, four of which were game winners, and added nine assists. He was also named as a captain for the Dukes. "I tried to bring cohesiveness to our team," Sapong said.
Now, the former JMU player will join 53 other Division I college seniors from January 7-11 in Fort Lauderdale, Florida at the 2011 adidas Major League Soccer Player Combine.
Sapong is excited for the opportunity and currently training for the event. He has spoken to several former combine invitees including 2010 MLS draftee Adam Welch. The two competed at Reading United AC in the PDL this past summer.
"I am confident in my abilities," Sapong said. "It's important to settle down and play well at the combine."
