“Having three of our players commit to Division I and Division II certainly speaks to their quality both on and off the field,” said Eastern Florida head coach Oliver Twelvetrees. “All are outstanding young men and we wish them nothing but the best.

“Their signings also raise the visibility of our program at Eastern Florida and will help us continue to draw top-level talent.”

Magalhaes was a 2013 NJCAA first-team selection and a 2014 second-team selection for both the National Soccer Coaches Association of America (NSCAA) and NJCAA.

King was a 2013 NSCAA second-team selection.
