Wake Forest senior, Beachside Alumnus, and top American soccer prospect Marcus Tracy has decided to forego his chance to play in the MLS and has reportedly signed a deal with Danish champions Aalborg.
As reported the Danish newspaper Ekstra Bladet, the 22-year-old Tracy has signed an agreement with Aalborg.

Tracy will follow former Demon Deacons Jeremiah White of AGF Aarthus and Michael Parkhurst of Nordsjælland to Denmark, where he will play under new head coach Magnus Pehrsson.
Tracy won the Hermann Trophy, awarded to the top player in college soccer for the given year, and was highly-touted as an early round pick in this year’s MLS SuperDraft.
Known for his tall, strong frame, incredible speed, and masterful touch, Tracy has been dominant in the air for Wake Forest, and will take that style of play to Aalborg, the former team of fellow American Danny Califf. His good showings last season caught the attention of teams in Europe, particularly in Norway and Germany, but the Danish club were able to get his signature.
