Carter Norton '25 Recruiting Profile

"His 6'-4" frame makes him the most dominant player in the air. An unbelievable shot stopper, with a reaction time closer to college goalkeeping. He is college ready and likely will end up playing division 1 soccer...1V1 ability is excellent. Distribution for a keeper is second to none. Soccer IQ is off the charts."

RJ Dina - Director at Delaware Futbol Academy

I am a dedicated student-athlete, looking for the right opportunity to continue playing soccer at the collegiate level. Soccer is one of my passions, and I look forward to the chance to attend a great school and compete, as a college goalkeeper. I believe my physical attributes, abilities and experience make me an elite prospect.  Given the chance, I have no doubts that I will make a significant impact on any soccer program.

As a junior, I helped lead our small school, enrollment of approximately 400 in grades 9-12, to a trifecta of firsts. We were able to capture the Henlopen South Conference, while going undefeated in conference play and beating a school that is 5 times larger than Sussex Academy for the title. Next, we won the overall Henlopen Conference Championship, against a high school with an enrollment of 1600. The overall Henlopen Conference Championship was decided in PK's, and I was able to secure the win with 3 PK saves. Finally, after a playoff run that saw us knock off one big school after another, we made it to the Delaware State Championship game. My team faced off against a perennial powerhouse from Northern Delaware, Saint Marks High School. I stopped a PK in sudden death overtime to keep the game alive and move on to PKs. Once again, I was able to make the PK stops that led to Sussex Academy's first State Championship.

Currently, I am a member of the class of 2025 at The Sussex Academy of Arts & Sciences in Georgetown, Delaware.  Sussex Academy is a school built upon a challenging curriculum and a belief in academic rigor.  I am a member of the National Junior Honor Society, and I am enrolled in all Honors and AP courses, of which, I enjoy my History and English classes the most.  

In closing, I am looking to connect with a coaching staff that values me as a player, student and person.  Looking forward to getting to work and continuing to develop my skills.  Would love the opportunity to compete for a spot, help win some games, contribute to winning conference and national titles.

Along with soccer, I have also earned Varsity Letters in Basketball, Baseball and Golf.
