Jake Weaver ‘23 Recruiting Profile

Personal Statement

Thank you for reviewing my profile and considering me for your program.  My name is Jake Weaver, and I am a Senior at Lakota West High School (Class of 2023) in West Chester, Ohio. I began playing soccer at the age of 3 and started competing at the club level (Lakota Futbol Club) at age 7.  I rostered on varsity (Lakota West High School) as a freshman and started every game my sophomore and junior seasons.

I am currently undecided on a college major but have always dreamed of being a scholar athlete – pursuing a high education as well as competing at the highest level.  I carry a 4.15/4.0 GPA and scored a 29 on my  ACT in July,  2022.

I am a passionate defender (currently playing center-back on all of my teams), but have experience at all positions and am always willing to play where the coach/team needs me to.  I love to continue to learn and have a high work ethic (believe that you play how you practice). Ultimately, each individual is responsible for his development and level of commitment, but I value being part of a team, and am motivated to make those around me better.   I was voted team captain during the  2021 Fall season by my peers and wore the band with honor.

I hope that my college experience brings new challenges and adventures, allowing me to discover and leverage my full potential while pursuing my dream of playing soccer at the highest levels.
