Cole Harris '25 Recruiting Profile

Hello, I am Cole Harris and I live in San Clemente, California.  I currently am the captain for the Strikers FC MLS Next U17 team and I am the starting center back. I aspire to play collegiate Division I college soccer at the highest level.  My soccer career started at a young age, playing pick-up games in our neighborhood park and I'm proud to say I achieved my personal goal of currently playing at the highest level offered in my community - MLS Next.  My team is currently ranked #10 in the nation for the U17 age group by Top Drawer Soccer and was the runner up in the MLS Cup Finals played in Dallas this past June.

My coachability and leadership skills set me apart from different players. Coaches describe me as poised, calm, and intelligent.  I take pride in improving myself every day and I try to motivate my team in a positive and helpful way.   I am also serious about my education and my GPA reflects my commitment to school - 4.7.  I am also fluent in Spanish which is a bonus on and off the field.

When I'm not at practice or playing with my current club team, I play futsal a couple days a week and enjoy surfing at my local beach.
