Matthew Arias '26 Recruiting Profile

I have been playing soccer since as long as I can remember. Soccer is a great sport not only to challenge yourself but also to learn to work with people and to learn valuable life skills. Playing soccer at the collegiate level has been a dream of mine since I started playing the sport. I have strived to push myself every year that I have been playing soccer. 

Even though there are many athletes that strive to play at the collegiate level what separates me from the other recruits is that I am very accountable, I love to work hard, and I love to be coached and learn how I can get better.

I also know what it is like to handle going to a very challenging school while also playing soccer at the MLS next level. I go to the most challenging high school in the United States which is a Basis charter school. In my school in order to graduate we need to take 6 AP college level classes and pass at least one of them. I also play at the MLS next level for the u17 SC DEL SOL team.
