ORLANDO, Fla. – The UCF men's soccer team has added its seventh member of its 2020 recruiting class as Lenny Cidolit has signed with the Knights.
Cidolit is a right back who hails from Montpellier, France, bringing UCF's total number of Frenchmen on the roster to four.
A transfer from Montpellier University, Cidolit will come to Orlando as a redshirt sophomore. His prior experience consists of winning championships with Montpellier U19 and Montpellier B. He was the captain of that U19 team and also represented them in the UEFA Youth Champions League.
Cidolit chose to join the Knights because of "the education, vision of the program and the platform to go onto the professional level."
Cidolit is one of four defenders to sign on for 2020, adding plenty of depth to the position. The Knights only had four defenders on the roster prior to this year's recruiting class.
Brennon Neff, Anderson Rosa and Juan Ramos make up the other three incoming defenders. Lucca Dourado, Ariel Hadar and Tyler Lavigne round out the recruiting class. Five of the seven newcomers have been playing soccer in the United States for some time, as Cidolit and Hadar are the only two to join the team directly from an organization overseas. In total, the seven 2020 recruits come from five different countries spread across four continents.
