"We are pleased to sign all three players," said Red Bulls Sporting Director Andy Roxburgh. "They all showed in preseason that they have potential and we look forward to their contributions to the team in the coming season."

The Red Bulls selected Duvall, 22, from Wake Forest University with the 22nd overall pick of the 2014 SuperDraft. He was at Wake Forest for four seasons and in 2013 he mainly featured as a right back, playing in 14 games for Wake Forest and recording three assists.

During his freshman season at Wake Forest, Duvall appeared in every game, including 16 starts, and led the team in assists with four. In preseason play with the Red Bulls, the Georgia native appeared in four games, including one start against Orlando City SC.

Stevenson, 23, was New York's 34th overall pick at the 2014 SuperDraft. During the 2013 season at the University of Akron, Stevenson played in 22 games, making 21 starts. He finished the season with five goals and five assists. He was an All-Great Lakes Region Third Team honoree and also earned All-MAC First Team honors. In 2012, he was named to the All-MAC Second Team after starting all 22 matches for Akron. Stevenson enjoyed a breakout season, scoring seven goals, recording five assists, and finishing third on the team in points with 19. The Columbus, OH native featured in three preseason matches for the Red Bulls.

Oyongo, 22, signed with the Red Bulls after previously playing for Coton Sport FC in Cameroon since 2010.
