Xavier Rodriguez Blake '26 Recruiting Profile

Hello my name is Xavier Rodriguez Blake and have been playing soccer since the age of 6. Since the first time touching the ball, I have come to start loving the sport more and more everyday. As growing up, I have played for little league teams, recreational teams, different 3v3 and 11v11 tournaments hosted by DYSA and high school soccer and basketball. Through this, I have come to want more out of it such as higher skill level and started to aspire to play at the college level. I know that the experience of playing at that level is an once in a lifetime opportunity and would love to earn that amazing privilege one day. With my experience playing as a left wing and striker, my strong assets are passing, shooting, pace, mental toughness, very coachable attitude, and leadership skills. I show this through being a team captain for numerous years, and helping teammates out and helping assist my coach during practices and games to push myself and teammates to be more successful on and off the field. 

As of off the field. I obtain a 3.0 GPA and strive to get a better GPA every year. Out of school, I attend extracurricular activities like boys scouts (Royal Rangers) for 8 years which consists of different leadership camps and merits (JTC), different youth groups, (Faith Community Church and Barclay Assembly of God), and a ROTC program for two years( First State Military Academy). I strive to accomplish more throughout my teenage years and high school years participating more in both of these aspects. I would like to attend the college where I can push my limits to the fullest with soccer and in the classroom. Right now I am unsure on where to go and how to get there, but through this, I am open to all options and any experiences to be able to improve and find the college for me.
