MLP Waiver Update: Flash add Jakovljevic, Hard Eights add Ingram

The Dallas Flash (4-0, 12pts) and SoCal Hard Eights (0-2, 1pt) ended Waiver Period #1 by making modifications to their alternate roster spots on Tuesday.

Dallas added Ivan Jakovljevic and dropped Wyatt Stone.

 

It’s been a whirlwind of a week for Jakovljevic; SoCal sent him to the Columbus Sliders as part of their waiver claim for Roscoe Bellamy, and then Columbus waived him to add Ross Whittaker.

Now, the former soccer pro will represent the 2024 Premier level champions.

SoCal added Jalina Ingram and dropped Lauren Hidalgo-Smith.

 

At just 17 years old, Ingram is one of the youngest UPA-signed pros and will now have a chance to compete at the Premier level in MLP.

Here are the updated rosters for Dallas and SoCal following Tuesday’s moves:
