Utah Valley senior forward Omar Yehya has been named to TopDrawerSoccer's midseason top 100 list, coming in at No. 25. Yehya is the first Wolverine to be named to TDS' midseason list, and the second overall, joining Paul Hoffmeister, who was ranked No. 21 in the preseason ranking back in 2017.
Yehya is currently in the middle of one of the greatest offensive seasons in Utah Valley men's soccer history, with 10 goals and two assists to his name. As of Oct. 16, Yehya ranks among the best in the nation in both goals (6th) and points (9th).
Yehya is the second Wolverine to reach double-digit goals in a season, joining Blake Frischknecht who netted 13 in 2019 en route to WAC Offensive Player of the Year honors. Yehya is currently ahead of Frischknecht's 2019 pace, reaching 10 goals in 12 games while Frischknecht reached double digits in 16 games. Earlier this season, Yehya matched another one of Frischknecht's UVU records, tallying a goal contribution in seven consecutive games.
Yehya and the Wolverines return to action on Sunday against the Air Force Falcons in Colorado. Kickoff is scheduled for 1 p.m. MDT, and the game will be streamed live on WAC International.
