Jallah Barbu '22 Recruiting Profile

Born in Liberia and raised both there and the United States I have seen a lot on my journey but soccer was the one thing that stayed the same in both parts of my life. My parents came here to get an education for both themselves and their children. The have taught us to maximize the most out of any opportunity, and America gave us the resources to do so. I have been playing soccer all my life but high school was my first taste of organized football. Entering high school at age 12, I learned that there are no excuses in this game. I learned that I had to compete to the best of my ability and to perfect it ,I chose to be a footballer rather than a forward or winger or outside back. If there is one thing I can guarantee as a player, it is my ability of adapting to whatever comes my way and giving my all to the tasks at hand
