Mohammed came to Millbrook from Kumasi, Ghana, through the Right to Dream program. After graduating in 2021, he played college ball with the Duke Blue Devils. Two seasons later, he was selected 2nd overall in the 2023 MLS SuperDraft by Orlando City.
During his time as a Mustang, he helped win the 2018 NEPSAC Class C soccer championship. He was also a standout in the classroom and was inducted into Millbrook’s Cum Laude Society in 2021.
