Former University of Tampa standout Ryan Maxwell, who was a first-round selection by the New England Revolution, will attend, as will former South Florida forward Jordan Seabrook, who was a Colorado Rapids selection.
Richard Jata, who played for Ridgewood High before playing collegiately for Furman and Campbell University, may be best known for the speech he gave after he was selected in the fourth round of the draft by the Chicago Fire.
