Connor Bishop '26 Recruiting Profile

I grew up in San Diego, California, where soccer has been a major part of my life for as long as I can remember. Along with playing club and high school soccer, I’ve also spent years developing my game through indoor/arena and futsal, which have helped sharpen my technical skills, quick thinking, and ability to play in tight spaces. I currently play for Rancho Bernardo High School and Albion SC San Diego EA team. Last season, I scored 15 goals and recorded 4 assists.

As a center attacking midfielder, I focus on vision, timing, and decision-making. Always looking for ways to connect play, create chances, and control the game's rhythm. I’m highly effective in a possession-based system where quick decisions, smart movement, and clean technical play are essential. I’m looking for a college program that fits that style. One that values IQ, connection, and a thoughtful approach to the game.

Soccer has taught me a great deal about patience, leadership, and how to remain composed under pressure. I’ve learned to be consistent, adaptable, and calm in high-pressure moments, qualities that carry over into everything I do. Academically, I have a 3.82 GPA and a 1200 SAT (600 Math / 600 English). I’m planning to study cybersecurity/computer science or film/cinema in college, where I can continue to challenge myself both creatively and intellectually.

I’m two-footed, calm on the ball, and take pride in helping the players around me succeed. I might not be the loudest on the field, but I lead through consistency, vision, and execution. I always show up for my team with full commitment, reliability, and accountability, both on and off the field.

I’m excited to find a program where I can keep growing, compete at a high level, and contribute to a team that plays with purpose.
