Yosef Burch '22 Recruiting Profile

In order to be ready for college (and in light of all of the Covid disruptions) I am transfering from high school in Israel this summer to attend West high school in Knoxville, TN for my senior year.  I have been studying most of my life in a foreign language until now, so learning in English in 12th grade is a challenge I can't wait to face because it will help my transition to university, which is my highest goal I’m aiming to achieve.

My soccer career here overseas has been unbelievably rewarding in that I have learned to play a different style of the game in very uncomfortable situations and environments, even playing in the highest non professional league in the country, the Israel U-20 Youth Premier League against National Team players across three age groups.  Although I have one year to play in high school, I am more than ready for college level sports.

I am planning to study Business Administration and am looking for a good school with a competitive soccer team within driving distance of east Tennessee, where my extended family resides when my parents return overseas this fall.
