James O'Connell '22 Recruiting Profile

My collegiate goal is to play soccer while obtaining a master's degree in engineering. I am a strong leader as well as being a strong academic student whose goal is to help make a positive impact on the campus and the soccer program. I will do so by pushing myself and my peers to be the best version of ourselves on and off of the field. Despite that, the trait that separates me from other players is my versatility. Even though my primary position is defense my coaches have still looked to me to play positions in the midfield and even striker to make changes in the game. I hope you take the opportunity to talk to my coaches because every single one of them will tell you how determined and coachable of a player I am.
