Arjun Venkat '22 Recruiting Profile

I am Arjun Venkat, a versatile and accomplished player specializing in the positions of Center Back (CB) and Central Defensive Midfielder (CDM), with additional proficiency at Right Back (RB). My collegiate journey started at Western Oregon University, where I dedicated my freshman year to honing my skills and contributing to the team's success. Recognizing the importance of academic and athletic excellence, I made the decision to transfer to Oxnard College for my sophomore season, who were ranked the #1 Juco by United soccer coaches and had just won the national tournament the year before.

Throughout my collegiate career, I have consistently demonstrated a commitment to both academic and athletic pursuits. My experience at Western Oregon University and Oxnard College has not only enhanced my technical and tactical abilities on the field but has also strengthened a strong work ethic, leadership qualities, and adaptability to various positions within the defensive lineup.

As I embark on the next phase of my academic and athletic journey, I find myself in the transfer portal, seeking a school where I can contribute my skills and dedication to a competitive collegiate soccer program. With two remaining years of college eligibility, I am eager to join a team that values a comprehensive approach to player development, both on and off the field.

I am confident that my background as a CB/CDM with experience at RB positions, coupled with my commitment to academic excellence, positions me as a valuable asset to any collegiate soccer program. I look forward to exploring opportunities that align with my academic and athletic goals and contribute positively to the success of the team.
