In four seasons with the NC State men’s soccer team, Brisma played in 69 games, 52 of which were starts, scoring five goals and assisting 11 more. Playing primarily on the wing, Brisma’s speed and dribbling ability allowed him to be an effective creator. 

Once in dangerous areas, Brisma has the ability to find the open man in the box, as seen on this goal from senior defender Pepe Garcia.

Montreal finished 10th in the Eastern Conference standings in 2021, failing to make the playoffs. The club was clearly interested in adding attacking talent at the draft, selecting Jojea Kwizera, a forward out of Utah State, in the first round.

Redshirt senior goalkeeper Leon Krapf and graduate midfielder Brad Sweeney were both eligible for the draft as well but were not selected.
