POMONA -- Cal Poly Pomona head men's soccer coach Matt O'Sullivan has announced that eight student-athletes will join the program for the upcoming 2022 season.

Eric Pearce, Jakob Singh, Mads Frederiksen, Melvin Leon, Mike Moser, Sam Lena, Woody Angell and Anthony Huang will don the Broncos uniform beginning in a couple of weeks when the team reports early next month.

"This recruiting class has a little bit of everything, on and off the field," O'Sullivan said. "We have experience with guys who have already achieved in college, and we have some youth with high level raw talent. That blend will help our program in Fall and in the future years to come. We are excited about the quality that we continue to bring to CPP and we are looking forward to seeing everyone soon at Kellogg stadium so you can see the reloaded Cal Poly Pomona for yourself."


Eric Pearce | Sophomore | Defender | San Francisco, Calif. | Lowell HS | UCLA

"Eric is a high energy full back with a terrific array of crossing ability. He'll develop his individual attacking to add key elements to our attack."

Jakob Singh | Freshman | Forward | Los Alamitos, Calif. | Los Alamitos HS

"Jakob is an explosive player that will develop his power and technique to become a top forward in this conference." 

Mads Frederiksen | Freshman | Forward | Viborg, Denmark | Viborg Katedralskole

"Mads is a true isolation winger that will run at the defense and beyond them. We've always had this element to our attack. He's unpredictable, dangerous, and will give us an outlet versus all forms of defenses." 

Melvin Leon | Junior | Forward | Santa Ana, Calif. | Godinez Fundamental HS | Cal State Fullerton

"We are truly excited about bringing Melvin to CPP because we know what he is capable of at his highest level. If we can get him to his best, he's an elite performer. Melvin is a gifted attacking player who can play inside and outside."

Mike Moser | Sophomore | Midfielder | Thun, Switzerland | Sekundarschule Gersag | Missouri Valley College

"Mike has excellent technical ability. He can win you a game with a pass, set piece, or shot from anywhere. I think he will bring a different dimension to our team." 

Sam Lena | Freshman | Forward | Santa Monica, Calif. | Santa Monica HS

"Sam is an explosive and versatile wide player who can eliminate defenders with and without the ball. We can't wait to begin working with his vast potential."

Woody Angell | Freshman | Midfielder | Alton, England | Eggar's School

"Woody is a powerful midfielder who will show his presence offensively and defensively. He has multiple weapons to hurt the opposition and an elite mentality. We look forward to developing the many tools at his disposal." 

Anthony Huang | Freshman | Forward | Taiwan, Taipei | ASU Prep Academy

"Anthony is a dynamic winger who loves to run at you and vertically past you. Perfect for the CPP way. We are very excited to watch him in bronco green and develop his game."
