Clemson men’s soccer coach Mike Noonan announces three new signings

CLEMSON, S.C. — Head coach Mike Noonan announced the signing of three players to the Clemson men’s soccer 2020-21 recruiting class.

Adam Lundegard, Tristan DeLoach and Zack Farnsworth are the Tigers’ three signees. Lundegard and Farnsworth are set to join the team as defenders, while DeLoach will add to the Tigers’ quality midfield unit.

“With every player, we look at the intangible pieces of competitiveness, leadership and those types of traits, and the three guys we’re signing all have these qualities,” said Noonan. “These young men are more mature at their age than most of their peers. These players don’t just want to fit in, they have a great drive to them.”

All three players will come to Clemson with a wealth of experience to call upon, as each has spent the past year playing within the USL’s various divisions. Associate Head Coach Phil Jones served as the lead recruiter for this year’s class.

He’s fun to watch play soccer but is also very serious and seeks out information about the game while having a high coachability. He’s come to our camp, he’s relatively local, and I think he has always wanted to be a Tiger!”

He’s a wholesome kid that I really like… you can tell that he reveres his family, which is always a good quality to have. Zack doesn’t play under any kind of pressure, and I think that’s why he has excelled.”
