MACON – Segun Afolabi became the 16th player to sign a professional deal after playing under men's soccer head coach Brad Ruzzo after inking a contract with FC Strani, a club in the Czech Republic's Fourth Division.

In the orange and black, Afolabi scored a brace while also recording an assist on September 28 against Air Force to earn Southern Conference Player of the Week honors.
Before Alofabi began his collegiate career, he had a high school career that most could only dream of. The standout forward was the captain at Campbell High School and led his squad to two region championships. The Spartans also went to the Final Four in 2019.
