2023 SpotlightPersonal Statement
I've played soccer for twelve years, and my goal is to play at the next level to prove my time and effort has paid off. I'm not the flashiest player on the field, but I'll give you someone with great endurance and speed with consistent technical ability. I have a very simple and disciplined style of play, and I can carry a huge workload. My speed is one of my biggest weapons. My fastest GPS recorded speed is 21.4 mph. I was the only dual rostered freshman on Houston County's 6A soccer team, and as a sophomore, I was a varsity starter who received 2nd Team All-Region honors. The highlight of my 2023 club season was winning the Georgia State Cup tournament. My team will be representing Georgia at the USYS Southern Regionals in June 2024. I look forward to carrying my soccer experiences to the collegiate level.
