The Sporting JAX roster solidifies with the addition of this North Carolina netminder. Jake McGuire has seven years of USL experience, and is no stranger to shutouts. At the University of Tulsa, McGuire came in as the No. 22-ranked recruit by Top Drawer Soccer with many eyes on him, and his next four years only proved to attract more attention. At Tulsa, he built up many accolades, and ended his career as the program’s leader in shutout’s (17), minutes (6,360), and games (67).

McGuire was selected as the 30th overall pick by the Houston Dynamo in the 2017 MLS Super Draft, and bounced around through loans and trades before landing with North Carolina FC where he acted as their starting keeper in 2021 where he made 74 saves over 21 games, while collecting seven clean sheets. With McGuire in net, Sporting JAX can see a few shutout’s in their future.
