Cam Merrill '22 Recruiting Profile

I have been playing soccer my entire life. I have a true love for the game, and I have learned that I never want to give up on my dream of playing collegiate soccer. I chose to do a PG year at Avon Old Farms after high school, to further develop my skill and confidence. This choice was a true testament to who I am, and how hard I wanted to work to acheive my goals of playing collegiate soccer . Currently, I am a freshman at Connecticut College, where I tried to walk-on. Walking away from roster spots at other schools, I knew this would be a tough decision and even tougher challenge. At Conn I am now playing on the Travel Team and look forward to our 10 plus games this Fall. I have been a three-sport athlete my whole life - playing basketball, baseball and soccer. I downhill ski, golf, mountain bike and enjoy boating and fishing, but soccer is my passion. I love the competition and I love to succeed. I have been told I have a great work ethic and desire. And I do. On the field I play to create opportunities for my teammates - and myself. My unselfish character, athleticism and desire to compete and challenge myself both on the field, and in the classroom, is what sets me apart from others.
