Silas McGee '26 Recruiting Profile

Soccer has always been my passion and a huge part of my life. I was seven years old when I began playing on the field. Since then, I have continued growing my skills, studying the strategy of the game, and developing my abilities through hard work and training.

My skills started to exponentially grow at the age of ten when I moved to Germany. The soccer culture and love of the game was something that I had never experienced in the United States. This was an amazing opportunity for me to play for a German club with kids who took soccer extremely seriously. I lived in Bonn, Germany for two years, and also for two years in Berlin, Germany. I had the opportunity to play for two German teams with great coaching and play on the pitch. I also was able to learn the German language and experience the cultures of many other countries. All of this has allowed me to become the quality player I am today. I moved back to the United States when I had just turned 14, coming back with a different outlook on the game of soccer and as a more driven athlete.

My love for the game and constant dedication is shown through the way I play, and through the results that I get for my team. I will never lose my passion and love for the game. I am a versatile player that makes decisions quickly and a goal-scorer for my team. But what happens off the field is also important, and I recognize that by taking my academics and actions very seriously. I value putting in the work to be at the highest level and I want everyone to be able to see through my actions and values that I am a dependable person who will be the best I can be. I am very excited for this opportunity and hope to hear from you soon!
