UCLA men’s soccer’s freshman defender Reggie Cannon will not be joining the Bruins for his sophomore campaign as he has opted to sign with FC Dallas.

The 18-year-old made the decision public on Dec. 22 and is the 18th homegrown player that FC Dallas has signed.

Cannon won back-to-back national championships with the FC Dallas Academy prior to coming to UCLA.

During his time as a Bruin, Cannon started in all 20 matches. A highlight of the season was Cannon’s assist for the game-winning goal at then-No. 13 San Diego State in early October.

Top Drawer Soccer’s Midseason Top 100 Freshman rankings notched Cannon in at No. 8 and he was listed on its Freshman Best XI team.

Cannon joins eight other FC Dallas players who hail from Texas cities – Cannon’s hometown is Grapevine, Texas.
