Acquired
RSL: Selected in the first round (14th overall) of the 2008 MLS SuperDraft on 1/18/08Raw athleticism, an imposing presence, a determined work ethic and an eagerness to learn best describe defender David Horst after his first full year of professional seasoning. A product of Old Dominion's college soccer program and former USL Premier Development League Defender of the Year with the Hampton Roads Piranhas, Horst grew up in rural Pennsylvania and called his Mom "coach" when he started playing soccer in high school. His unique blend of size, skill, speed and tenacity allowed him one "trial by fire" senior-team game in 2008, RSL's 3-4 loss at Houston on August 16 in place of suspended center back Jamison Olave. After getting a front-row seat for his development into a first-team professional last year, the promising Horst will look to push Olave and another stalwart in the middle, Nat Borchers, while continuing his tutorial from one of the League's all-time great defenders, RSL assistant coach Robin Fraser.
