FC Dallas added firepower to their attack by selecting Ricardo "Ricky" Louis, a 6'2", 175-pound forward from Georgia Southern, with the second overall pick in the 2026 MLS SuperDraft. The sophomore from Fort Myers, Florida, brings a proven scoring pedigree to Texas after an impressive college campaign with the Eagles. Louis's combination of height, athleticism, and finishing ability made him an attractive option for FC Dallas, who look to rebuild their attacking depth. As a Generation adidas signee, Louis will join the club with favorable roster flexibility, allowing Dallas to develop the young forward without the full salary cap burden. His selection ahead of elite college performers like Edouard Nys and Clarence Awoudor signals FC Dallas's commitment to adding goal-scoring prowess through the draft.
