New York City FC selected defender Alex Bumpus in the third round of the Major League Soccer SuperDraft Sunday.

The 5-9, 150-lb. Bumpus, who played for the University of Kentucky last fall, was taken as the 52nd overall pick.

City passed on its other third-round pick (65th overall) and on its fourth-round selection (88th overall).

Columbus Crew SC grabbed New York City resident and midfielder Luis Argudo of Wake Forest University in the third round as the 67th overall pick.

D.C. United, the Montreal Impact, Philadelphia Union and Portland Timbers – who did not have selections in Friday’s first two rounds – each had selections Sunday, with three of Portland’s four picks taking place in the third round.

This year’s draft featured four players selected respectively from each of the following programs: the University of Akron, the University of Virginia and the University of Wisconsin.
