With the season just over 24 hours away, TDS presents its Preseason Awards for the 2023 Men's College Soccer Season.

This fall contains a wider variety of elite players and teams than years past, meaning Syracuse, the defending champions, and Indiana, runners-up, have plenty of work to do to return to the big stage. Featuring four All-American teams, the awards encompass the players most likely to have an outsized impact on the collegiate season.

Check out the Preseason All-American Teams below.
