[edit] College
Ustruck played four years at Santa Clara University, scoring eight goals during his collegiate career and fighting back from a knee injury during his junior year.[1] He was noted for his versatility and work ethic.[2]
[edit] Professional Career
Ustruck was drafted by the Dynamo in the third round of the 2007 MLS Supplemental Draft - a draft that he watched online with his friends[3] - as the 39th supplemental pick overall. Though he played as both a forward and a midfielder in college, Ustruck appears likely to be converted to a left back or left-sided midfielder in MLS.[4]
[edit] International Career
He played several games with the Under-20 United States national team in 2003.[1]
