KALAMAZOO, Mich. – Wednesday morning TopDrawerSoccer announced the 2023 preseason All-American teams. This year, Charlie Sharp was named to the preseason All-American Third Team.
Last year, Sharp helped lead the brown and gold to the last-ever MAC championship title after scoring a career-best 11 goals in 21 matches. In the process, Western Michigan completed their first 16 win season since 2017, and claimed a Sweet 16 berth. Sharp's next goal will put him in a three-player tie with Tom Oatly (2004-07) and Mosen Khani (1979-82) for the third most goals in program history at 24 career goals.
TopDrawerSoccer deciphers the All-American selections based on players most likely to have an outsized impact on the collegiate season.
Sharp and the Broncos will open the 2023 campaign on the road against 12th ranked University of Vermont tomorrow at 6:00PM. The match will be streamed on ESPN+, and the live stats link can be found under the men's soccer schedule.
