The photo shows an intense soccer match on an outdoor field with artificial turf. Two players are the main focus: Player in blue: Wearing a blue jersey and shorts with white trim, along with blue socks and white cleats. This player is in a defensive stance, extending one leg in an attempt to block or tackle the ball. Player in white: Wearing a white jersey with yellow side accents and white shorts, along with white socks and black cleats. The jersey has the number 8 visible. This player is controlling the ball, which is a standard black-and-white patterned soccer ball, and appears to be moving forward aggressively. In the background, there is a blurred view of green foliage and a black fence, suggesting the game is taking place on a fenced-in soccer field. The lighting indicates it might be late afternoon or early evening, with natural light illuminating the scene.

OVERLAND PARK, Kan. – The United Soccer Coaches announced Friday that Johnson County Community College's Kael Drummond has been selected to the organization's 2025 Two-Year Division II All-America Team. He is the sixth player in team history to earn All-America recognition and the second under head coach Jeff Cole.

Drummond capped an exceptional sophomore campaign by leading a Cavaliers squad that finished 13-5-4, captured the Region 6 Championship, and ended the year ranked No. 15 in NJCAA Division II.

The Mill Valley product recorded two goals—including one game-winner—and one assist, while anchoring a defensive unit that produced eight shutouts, leading the conference and ranking 13th nationally. The Cavaliers also posted a 1.36 goals-against average.

"Kael is a freak athlete that can cover a ton of ground," said coach Cole. "He is a box-to-box midfielder that disrupts play through the midfield and shields the target 9 extremely well. Kale is an incredible ball winner and has a deadly long throw as an offensive weapon.

In addition to All-America honors, Drummond earned first-team All-Kansas Jayhawk Conference Division II and All-Region 6 recognition for his performance in 2025.
