WASHINGTON, D.C. - D.C. United announced today the signing of Jeremy Barlow to a developmental contract. The midfielder came to the club last week from the Houston Dynamo in exchange for the club's natural third round selection in the 2009 MLS Supplemental Draft. Barlow had been selected by the Dynamo in the fourth round (56th overall) of the 2008 MLS SuperDraft.
A product of the D.C. United youth system and Reston FC, Barlow starred for four seasons at the University of Virginia. The 5-7, 150-pound midfielder totaled seven goals and an assist in his freshman year before being named the 2004 ACC Tournament MVP and to the all-ACC freshman team. He added two goals and nine assists during his sophomore campaign and two goals and two assists in his junior year before finishing his collegiate career with a goal and six assists last fall.
D.C. United's 2008 MLS season begins March 29, when United travels to Kansas City to play the Wizards, and the home opener at RFK will be on April 5, against Toronto FC.
