Another Subotic going to Germany?

Nurdin Hrustic is following a path similar to the one Neven Subotic took to Germany and, possibly, the Bosnian national team.

Hrustic, who attended Wolfson High School in Jacksonville, Fla., left Jacksonville University after one season to sign a contract with VfL Bochum in Germany. Like Subotic, a former U.S. U20 player who is now with Borussia Dortmund, Hrustic is a central defender born in Bosnia.

The Hrustic family joined a strong Bosnian immigrant community in Jacksonville in the 1990s. Hurdin and twin brother Nedim made major impacts at the club and high school level, then enrolled at Jacksonville University. Nurdin, listed at 6 feet 3 inches, 175 pounds, was injured and sat out a redshirt season. Nedim is scheduled to return to college for his sophomore season.
