The Wenger era lives on.

As Duke’s Andrew Wenger moves on to MLS, after becoming the first overall pick of last month’s MLS Draft, his mini version is set to join the college ranks.

PA Classics veteran Jonathan Wenger signed to play with Elon next season, keeping the family name firmly rooted in the NCAA.

Jonathan has been a strong presence and captain for his club team and the Elon Phoenix can use an injection of youth after finishing near the bottom of the Southern Conference last season.

Of course, big brother Andrew set the college stage ablaze as the nation’s top scorer in 2011 but we’re not expecting the same outburst from Jonathan, particularly in his freshman season. He’s a different kind of player, though a Wenger nonetheless.
