Shortly before the Holidays, Michael Sullivan experienced a whirlwind end to 2024, as his collegiate career came to an end but in a little more than a week’s time, was selected in the MLS SuperDraft by Toronto FC.

Pittsburgh Soccer Now‘s John Krysinsky caught up with Sullivan for an interview in the latest edition of Sounding Off on Soccer Podcast. The Pittsburgh area native, who starred at Deer Lakes High School and with Steel City FC (previously Arsenal and Century United), then for four years at Pitt, shared more about his journey and growth as a player and person and discussed the experience of wrapping up his senior season, then quickly turning around and going through the MLS combine and getting drafted.
