Detroit City FC forward Tyler Channell (Saginaw Valley State) has been selected to represent Le Rouge at the 2016 National Premier Soccer League (NPSL) Combine on January 8-10 in Fort Lauderdale, FL.
The NPSL Combine, started last year, aims to give NPSL players from around the nation a chance to train and play in front of professional coaches and scouts.
Channell is one of 15 players selected to the NPSL Midwest combine team, which will face teams comprised of Northeast, South and West Region players in interregional matches scheduled for January 9-10.
Last year, Zach Schewee (Bowling Green) was the sole player selected to represent Le Rouge. At the end, Schewee and his Midwest region teammates were crowned combine winners.
After finishing his senior season at SVSU leading the Cardinals in assists (14), points (52) and game-winning goals (8), Channell was named the CCA Division II Midwest Region Player of the Year. His 52 points set the SVSU single-season record. Additionally, Channell was named the GLIAC Offensive Player of the Year, an award he also won as a sophomore in 2013.
