Todd Yeagley is a retired U.S. soccer player who is an assistant coach at his alma mater Indiana University. He is the son of legendary Indiana University soccer coach Jerry Yeagley.

Yeagley elected to play for the Indiana University men’s soccer team under his father. Yeagley earned second team All American honors his first three years at Indiana as a forward, midfielder and defender. His senior year, the team made it to the NCAA championship before losing to Virginia. That year he earned first team All American honors and was named as the Missouri Athletic Club player of the year. He graduated in 1994 with a bachelor’s degree in sociology.

While at Indiana, Yeagley appeared with several junior national teams, including the U-20 national team and the national B-team. At the time, the United States Soccer Federation had two distinct national teams, the A and B team . The A team players tended to be under contract with USSF to play for the national team. B team members could also be under contract, but were more typically amateur or college players. Yeagley fell in this second category. As a B team member, he never played a full international for the U.S., but competed in subsidiary international competitions. He competed at the 1993 World University games.

Yeagley signed with Major League Soccer in January 1995, as the new league was laying the groundwork for its first season. The league signed players who then entered a pool for the league’s first draft which did not take place until 1996. MLS had originally intended to begin play in the fall of 1995, but delayed a year when it experienced problems with stadiums, sponsorship and team ownership. Rather than have the players it signed sit idle for a year, MLS loaned them to various domestic and foreign teams. For Yeagley, MLS loaned him to the Richmond Kickers of the U.S. Independent Soccer League Premier Division (U.S. Second Division).

When MLS held its Inaugural Draft, Yeagley was selected by the Columbus Crew in the 8th round (71st overall). He went on to play seven years as a defender with the Crew. When Yeagley retired from playing in 2002, he moved to the Crew’s front office as an assistant general manager for a year. When Yeagley’s father announced that he planned to retire from coaching after the 2003 NCAA season, Yeagley left the Crew and joined the Indiana soccer team as a non-paid assistant coach. The team went on to win the NCAA championship. The next year, Indiana brought Yeagley in as a full time assistant and he had the good fortune to again see his team win the NCAA championship in penalties against the University of California, Santa Barbara.
