'''Logan Ketterer''' (born November 9, 1993) is an American professional soccer player who plays as a goalkeeper for USL Championship club Lexington Sporting Club.
Ketterer was a three-sport athlete in high school, playing basketball and tennis before turning his focus solely to soccer. He played collegiately at Bradley, appearing more than 50 times for the Braves after not playing a game through his first two seasons. During the collegiate offseason, Ketterer spent time with Ocean City Nor'easters. He was selected by Columbus Crew SC in the fourth round of the 2017 MLS SuperDraft and made his professional debut in the 2018 U.S. Open Cup.
==Early life== Born in Madison, Wisconsin, Ketterer attended The Prairie School in Racine, Wisconsin, where he led the Hawks to back-to-back WIAA Division 3 state championships in 2010 and 2011. His junior season, Ketterer was the first goalkeeper in state history to shut out all opponents in every playoff and state tournament match.
