Marcos Otero '20 Recruiting Profile

I started to play soccer at age four in Tampa, Florida. I have always loved the sport because I love the intensity and the pressure of games. A teammate took me to USS Bullhead National Park to play soccer in a club he was in, I have stayed at that club since then. The team decided to move to the Duke City Soccer League to find more competition and to expand our capabilities as a team. A few years later I started high school and I started looking for a school to play for.  My friend invited me to try out at Highland High School and I started practicing with them. The coach was impressed and told me I could play with the Varsity team.

My goals as a college athlete are to get a full scholarship and to improve my technique.

I think I am different from other recruits because I like to set goals for myself and I need to reach those goals in order to be a better athlete and person. I am a player that can play almost every position a coach wants me to play without any complaints. I am a team player that does not like to have any bad relationships with any player and/or coach. I am good at kicking with both left and right and can play either side of the field.  I have a competitive mind. I am a good student in school and I do not like to have grades lower than a B.
