Sofia Alba '26 Recruiting Profile

Hi! My name is Sofia Alba, I am a junior at River Dell High School in North Jersey. Athletically, I have a background in competitive gymnastics since the age of seven before transitioning to high school cheerleading. I participate in both football and competition cheerleading at my school. I have been a flyer since starting the program and have made progress over the years. I truly love the sport and being part of a team! I take pride in my abilities both athletically and in terms of leadership. I would be a good candidate for your team because of my ability to adapt in different and new environments and my willingness to put it the work when no one is watching. Academically, I discipline myself similarly as I do in my sport. I have chosen elective courses in my school to expand my interests and knowledge along with giving myself a challenge. I understand that being a collegiate athlete requires balance with both academics and athletics, and I am driven not just in my sport, but as a student. Looking at the overall picture, I believe my character and qualities make me a standout recruit. I am extremely persevering, hardworking, and communicative. These qualities help me to motivate my other teammates, keep a positive environment, and be able to problem solve. I am consistently striving to uplift those around me and maintain sportsmanship as a team. My goal is to not just excel but to bring value to your program. I would love the opportunity to learn more about your program and how I am able to contribute to your team. Thank you for your time!
