Gelnovatch Announces 10 Incoming Players Ahead of 2025 Season – Virginia Sports

CHARLOTTESVILLE, Va. — Virginia’s head men’s soccer coach, George Gelnovatch, announced today (June 8) 10 additions to the roster that will join the team ahead of the 2025 season. The 10 newcomers will join a pair of winter additions that arrived in January. The Cavalier signing class includes Emmanuel Akinkoye (Gaithersburg, Md.), Zachary Ehrenpreis (San Carlos, Calif.), Melvin Hellman (Frankfurt, Germany), Stephen Hurlock (Tyrone, Ga.), Graham Jones (Vienna, Va.), Sami Oulouheu (Yopougon, Ivory Coast), Sebastian Pop (Drammen, Norway), Bacary Tandjigora (Thies, Senegal). The Cavaliers also welcome transfers Casper Mols (Kentucky), and Marco Dos Santos (Boston College). “The 2025 team brings back a core group of players with significant minutes and big-game experience, which reminds me of the foundation we had in 2019,” said Gelnovatch. “Over the past three years, we’ve worked hard to build that foundation, and this class adds exactly what we need to continue that progress. The transfers bring valuable experience and proven ability, while the first-years are a talented, hungry group we expect to make an immediate impact. Together, they give us the balance and depth to achieve our ambitious goals.” Emmanuel Akinkoye | Midfielder | DC United Hometown: Gaithersburg, Md. High School: Quince Orchard Class: Freshman
