Skanda Moorthy '20 Recruiting Profile

Ever since I was 6 years old, I have dreamed of being a college soccer player, and if the opportunity arises, a pro player. I have and will work hard to make this a reality. I have excelled both on the soccer field (Hudson HS and Everest Premier FC) and in the classroom. Apart from Soccer my passion in medicine led me to a great opportunity to volunteer at Neuroscience Lab (NIH Lab) every summer for the past 2 years at University of Akron under the able guidance of Dr. Jordan Renna, Assistant Professor of Biology.

I relish this opportunity to challenge myself intellectually and learn to work side by side with undergrad and grad research students. Apart from this experience, I have also participated in many  ongoing volunteer activities with HS team (Cancer walk, Holiday Gift Giving, Foodbank, etc). 

I was selected for ODP Region 2 as one among 42 best from 13 mid-western states. I attended ODP Invitational camp in Saginaw, MI and have been invited again to participate in their 2018 camp.  I have scored or assisted in many game winning/tying goals at both Club and High School. As sophomore, i contributed significantly to HS winning District Championship. I can excel on soccer pitch at D1 level.

I am 100% committed to executing the role given by my college coach and be there for my team. I will behave ethically both on the field and as well as in the classroom. It gives me great pleasure to work as a team and enjoy the association,camaraderie that comes along!

Please give me the chance  to prove myself and contribute positively to your soccer team's success. Thanks for your time and attention. Have a blessed day!
