Ilya Davydov '26 Recruiting Profile

As a student-athlete, I want to pursue a degree in university while playing soccer. I have also had experience living and playing abroad in Dubai, competing internationally and with older age groups including my club's u23 professional team. It was a great experience learning about different cultures and playing with some elite players from different countries and different styles of soccer, and those two years taught me a lot, as a footballer and a person.

I balance sports and academics well and constantly look for areas to improve and learn something new. I always like and embrace a challenge, and when presented with a difficulty I am resilient and work to overcome any obstacle in my path.
