2/5/2026 4:00:00 PM | Men's Soccer
BLOOMINGTON, Ind. — Indiana men's soccer head coach Todd Yeagley announced on Thursday (Jan. 29) five freshman signings. The signing class, which will join the program in the coming fall, includes top players from across the country as well as one international signing.
Michael Adu-Gyamfi | Forward | Accra, Ghana | Right to Dream
Ghanaian forward Michael Adu-Gyamfi joins Indiana from the Right to Dream Academy, the same academy system that IU junior Collins Oduro advanced through. Adu-Gyamfi spent his high school years in Connecticut at the Suffield Academy as well as at the IFA West and Connecticut United clubs. In 2024, he led Suffield to a NEPSAC Class B Championship and was named the NEPSAC Class B Player of the Year. Adu-Gyamfi has shown his attacking prowess especially over the last three seasons, totaling 53 contributions as a sophomore, junior and senior.
Yeagley's take: "Michael is an elite attacker who comes through the Right to Dream pathway, similar to Collins Oduro, and understands how to influence the game in the final third. He brings imagination, vision and the ability to unbalance defenders with his creativity off the dribble and final pass. As one of the nation's finest attackers, Michael's quality and production will position him to contribute immediately and elevate our attacking efficiency."
Sam Hess | Defender | Naperville, Ill. | Eclipse Select
Top Drawer Soccer rates Sam Hess as the No. 12 player out of the Midwest region. Hess has worn the captain's armband in seven seasons for club with Eclipse Select (ECNL) and Sockers Chicago FC (MLS NEXT) and was Naperville North High School's first three-year captain. NNHS enjoyed an 85-8-12 record over his four seasons, and Hess led the school to an unbeaten state championship run in 2025. Hess accepted an invitation to the High School Boys Soccer All-America Game, where he earned Most Valuable Player honors.
Yeagley's take: "Sam is a competitive, versatile player with a winning mentality who helped lead Naperville North High School to a state championship. He impacts games in both midfield and defensive roles, competes with edge and communicates at a high level. Sam's elite physical and mental toughness and positional flexibility will allow him to excel and thrive here at IU."
Ryan Hunsucker | Goalkeeper | Westfield, Ind. | Indy Eleven
From up the road in Westfield, Indiana, 6-foot-4 goalkeeper Ryan Hunsucker has proven himself in big games for his club side, Indy Eleven. Hunsucker helped the academy to a USL Academy Cup title in 2024, where he won the Golden Glove award and Young Player of the Tournament. Indy Eleven would go on to win the USL Academy League Finals too, where Hunsucker captured Golden Glove honors again, as well as the tournament's Golden Ball, after making 11 saves in the title match. Hunsucker also lettered in basketball for Westfield High School.
Yeagley's take: "Ryan is a goalkeeper with an excellent technical base, good size and range, and he brings the mentality you want anchoring your back-line. Training every day with Indy Eleven's first team has accelerated his understanding of the position, sharpened his distribution and strengthened his command of the box as well as his communication. He is on a strong trajectory, and we're excited about his future and continued growth within our program."
Dempsey Resich | Forward | Palos Verdes, Calif. | Los Angeles FC
Dempsey Resich is the No. 66-ranked prospect in the Class of 2026 and one of the top players in the country taking the college route. Resich played in the academy of Major League Soccer's Los Angeles FC, and for most of 2025 played with LAFC2 in MLS NEXT Pro while sharing the pitch with IU alumnus Tommy Mihalic. At the U17 level, Resich finished the year second in goals nationally with 36, and in 2022 he led his academy to the Generation adidas Cup final four while earning Best XI honors for the tournament.
Yeagley's take: "Dempsey is a proven goalscorer who was among the nation's leading producers for LAFC, combining strong finishing, smart movement in the box and aerial ability. He has gained valuable professional experience with LAFC's second team while showing versatility across multiple positions. His physical and mental toughness, along with natural leadership qualities, position him to make an immediate impact on our program."
Vincent Uglow | Defender | Newtown Square, Pa. | Penn Fusion
Top Drawer Soccer's No. 9-ranked prospect from the Pennsylvania region, left-footed Vincent Uglow joins IU from Penn Fusion Soccer Academy and Malvern Preparatory School. In 2024, Uglow led Penn Fusion to a U17 Pennsylvania State Cup Championship, and he earned U16 ECNL Northeast All-Conference honors the year before. A four-year letterwinner at Malvern Prep, Uglow earned Daily News first-team All-Area accolades as a senior and Inter-Academic All-League honors as a junior and senior.
Yeagley's take: "Vincent brings a well-rounded defensive profile to our roster. While naturally left-sided, he is also effective on his right, giving us positional flexibility across the back-line. We expect Vincent's physical profile and athletic tools to continue to develop, further enhancing his ability to compete at a high level. His composure on the ball and strong defensive qualities position him to become a reliable and impactful contributor within our program."
