Kevin Reiman (born March 14, 1986 in Yorktown Heights, New York ) is an American soccer player, who currently plays for Real Salt Lake of Major League Soccer.[1]

Reiman played high school soccer for Yorktown High School in Yorktown, New York for one year, as a freshman, before playing exclusively with the New York State Olympic Development Program and the Yorktown Spirit.[2] During this time he gained international experience playing in seven European events, and was a two-time NSCAA-Adidas All-American and McDonald's High School All-American nominee.[3] A five year starter for the US Youth Soccer Olympic Development Program (ODP) Region I team, Reiman was selected as a 2003 Adidas ESP All-Star, 2002 ODP Inter-Regional All-Star, and 2002 ODP National Finalist.[4] Reiman was also a seven-year captain for Yorktown Spirit club team, which was a four-time Eastern New York State Cup champs and a six-time state finalist.[3]

He attended the University of Maryland, where he was named an ESPN top recruit in 2004.[5] He then transferred to Michigan State after helping Maryland win the NCAA title in 2005.[6] Reiman's transfer was due in part to Maryland's addition of Robbie Rogers, another left-footed midfielder who was ranked as the number one recruit in the country, who left Maryland after one season to play professionally in the Netherlands and now plays in MLS for the Columbus Crew.[2] In the summer of 2006, Reiman started for the Westchester Flames of the USL Premier Development League.[7]

Reiman started on attack midfield in his two seasons at Michigan State, and tied for the team lead with four assists as a junior and was a second-team all-Big Ten selection as a senior, finishing with a goal and five assists.[2] As a senior, he was selected with the third pick (28th overall) of the third round in the 2008 Major League Soccer supplemental draft by Real Salt Lake.[8] He was initially expected to be a member of the reserve squad, but turned in an impressive performance at training camp and was named to the 28 man roster.[9]
