Sebastian Conlon Named to 2025 Hermann Midseason Watchlist

KANSAS CITY, Mo. – Kentucky Wildcats goalkeeper Sebastian Conlon has been named to the United Soccer Coaches 2025 Hermann Midseason Watchlist, making his second appearance on the list this season.

Conlon features as one of four goalkeepers named to the watchlist, along with Akron’s Mitch Budler, NC State’s Logan Erb and Princeton’s Andrew Samuels.

The 2025 Sun Belt Preseason Goalkeeper of the Year has recorded five clean sheets, 27 saves and a .692 save percentage through the first 11 games of the season.

The Hermann Trophy is presented annually by the Missouri Athletic Club and is the nation’s highest individual honor recognizing the National Player of the Year as determined by voting of Division I head coaches who are members of United Soccer Coaches. It is named in honor of the late Robert Hermann, the legendary St. Louis, Mo., businessman and soccer executive who founded the National Professional Soccer League, the first pro soccer league in the United States which became the North American Soccer League. He was inducted in the U.S. Soccer Hall of Fame in 2012.

The 2025 Midseason Watch List was compiled by members of the Hermann Trophy Midseason Watch List Committee. A total of 15 players will be named 2025 Hermann Trophy semifinalists on December 9 at the conclusion of NCAA Division I All-American voting. From that list, head coaches will cast votes, and three players will be named finalists. The 2025 recipient will be announced January 9, 2026, in a ceremony at the historic Missouri Athletic Club in downtown St. Louis, Mo.

Conlon and the Wildcats return to action this Sunday, Oct. 19 against the South Carolina Gamecocks at The Bell at 3 p.m. ET.
