The University of Denver men’s soccer team has added transfer Jesse Henderson, who played three seasons with the University of San Francisco, DU head coach Bobby Muuss announced.

Henderson started 24 of his 41 games with the Dons, helping them reach the NCAA tournament twice during his three years, the last of which Henderson served as team captain. Henderson was on a medical redshirt last season because of a foot injury, leaving him with two years of eligibility at DU.

Henderson graduated from USF after three years with a degree in business administration; he plans to pursue a master’s degree in leadership and organization from DU.

Henderson played from 2002-06 with the United States U-17 and U-18 men’s national teams and served as team captain. He was a four-time All-American with the Derby County Wolves club team and a three-time All-American at Lahser High School (Bloomfield Hills, Mich.).

After a pair of exhibition games, including one against Stanford on Aug. 29, the Pioneers open their home schedule with games against Dayton on Sept. 11, Belmont on Sept. 13 and Washington on Sept. 20.
