Kyle Blatz ‘21 Recruiting Profile

Personal Statement

I am currently living in Spain playing for the reserve team of Club de Futbal La Nucia, https://www.cflanucia.futbol/, a Primera Division RFEF (Third Division) team. I came to La Nucia on an invite from the club to play for their academy team after they scouted me playing for Los Angeles United Futbal Academy (MLS Next), https://www.laufa.org/, in Los Angeles. I arrived at La Nucia a couple of months after my 18th birthday having just graduated from Oak Park High School in Oak Park, California. While training with La Nucia last year, I took Spanish lessons with a tutor (I am now fluent) and took college classes online through Moorpark Community College. I completed my first year of college on the Dean's List with a 3.9. I am currently in my second year playing with La Nucia and will finish my second year of college by the end of next season (May '23).  I have a full four years of eligibility available, completion of two years of undergrad study (by May '23) with an excellent GPA and two years playing and training with a high level club in Europe. My preferred positions are wing or attacking mid. I am predominantly left footed but can shoot well with both.
