About an hour ago, the Colorado Rapids announced the signing of University of Denver defender and first round Super Draft pick Sam Hamilton. He was signed to a 2017 contract, with options for 2018, 2019, and 2020. Hamilton was a part of the unbeaten DU squad that went to their first-ever College Cup in 2016, and earned First Team All-Summit League honors. Hamilton didn’t have any goals, but had nine assists.
“Sam is technically very good on the ball and can cover a lot of ground in the center of the field. His work ethic, positive attitude and mentality since his arrival has earned him the right to be a member of this club.
