A Key Defensive Addition: Reid Fisher

Toronto FC's first pick in the draft, Reid Fisher, is a defender with a solid collegiate pedigree. Born in 2004, the 20-year-old arrives from San Diego State University, where he consistently impressed throughout his career.

Selected at #23 in the first round, Fisher demonstrated leadership and versatility in defense, recording 2 goals and 2 assists in 35 starts for the Aztecs.

Fisher's accolades include being named to the United Soccer Coaches Far West All-Region First Team and the All-Western Athletic Conference First Team in 2024. Standing at 6'3" and weighing 180 lbs, his physical presence makes him an asset for Toronto FC's backline.

Moreover, Fisher’s ability to contribute to ball progression offers promise for a team looking to improve its build-up play from the back.

Addressing Positional Needs

Toronto FC’s 2025 draft selections show a clear strategy to fill gaps exposed in the previous season.

Fisher's arrival signals a focus on shoring up a defensive line that struggled with consistency in 2024. While Toronto FC still awaits the appointment of a new head coach to lead the team’s rebuild, these draft picks are the first tangible steps toward revitalizing the squad.

Building Toward 2025

Toronto FC’s rebuild is off to a promising start with the addition of players like Reid Fisher, whose potential fits the club’s vision for the future. The focus now shifts to integrating these new talents into the team, improving overall cohesion, and bringing in a top-tier coach to lead the project.

With preseason preparations on the horizon, these additions provide optimism for Toronto FC fans eager to see their team return to competitive form in 2025.
