Geneva alumnus Shawn Sloan initially aspired to medical school after graduating early from High Point (N.C.) University last month.

In a few weeks, Sloan could be dissecting Major League Soccer defenses instead.

On Tuesday, the Columbus Crew selected the midfielder as part of a three-player haul in the MLS supplemental draft. Sloan, who now lives with his family outside Detroit, is scheduled to depart for Bradenton, Fla., today for the first phase of the Crew’s month-long preseason training camp, intent on “proving a little more” to further his playing career.
