The 2013 MLS SuperDraft was held on January 17, 2013, in Indianapolis, Indiana. The draft featured three rounds with a total of 57 picks, as MLS had 19 teams at the time. Andrew Wenger, a forward from Duke University, was selected first overall by the Montreal Impact, becoming one of the youngest first overall picks in MLS Draft history at age 20.
Other notable first-round selections included Jose Villarreal (LA Galaxy), Walker Zimmerman (FC Dallas), and Steve Neumann (New England Revolution). The draft was particularly strong for defenders, with several picks going on to have successful MLS careers. Walker Zimmerman, selected 4th overall, became one of the most successful picks from this draft class, earning multiple MLS All-Star selections and becoming a U.S. Men's National Team regular.
The 2013 draft class also featured several college standouts who made immediate impacts, though like many MLS drafts, the success rate varied significantly between early and late-round picks. This draft occurred during MLS's continued expansion phase and helped stock rosters as the league prepared for further growth.
