KANSAS CITY, Mo. (Dec. 11, 2024) – United Soccer Coaches and the Missouri Athletic Club (MAC) have announced the 15 men’s semifinalists for the 2024 MAC Hermann Trophy, based on voting by NCAA Division I Men’s soccer coaches.

The MAC Hermann Trophy is the most coveted individual honor in NCAA Division I soccer and has been awarded annually since 1967. Most recently, Ousmane Sylla (Clemson) and Onyi Echegini (Florida State) received the award for outstanding intercollegiate performances last year. 

Three schools—Duke University, Marshall University and Ohio State University–had two players make the elite list.

Three men’s finalists will be named for the award on Wednesday, Dec. 18 after voting by NCAA Division I coaches who are members of United Soccer Coaches. The 2024 MAC Hermann Trophy winner will then be announced at a press conference at the historic Missouri Athletic Club in St. Louis on Jan. 3, 2025, followed by a dinner to celebrate all of the 2024 finalists.

Fans are encouraged to vote for their favorite player. Go to MACHermannnTrophy.org for the men’s semifinal ballot.
