Personal Statement
I'm completely committed to excellence in soccer and academics. I started playing soccer at 4 when my dad taught me how to kick with both feet and have played ever since. My soccer career has included travel, premier, regional and school soccer. During the past 9 years, I have played almost all positions on the field including striker at the regional level. However, due to my size and speed, center back has become my position of choice and it's where I currently reside. My most defining qualities are top level field IQ, strength, ambidextrous foot skills and consistent use of my head in defensive clearing as well as scoring off corner kicks. If you are looking for a tall, both foot, quick player to stop strikers dead in their tracks, keep crosses out of the box and control the tempo of passing in the back field with precision; I'm the player. In addition, I offer a no-headache coachable player who offers next tier defense with foot skills well beyond above average center backs. I would love the opportunity to discuss collegiate level soccer and I'm ready to face any soccer or academic challenge.
