Simon Benjamin '22 Recruiting Profile

Hello my name is Simon Benjamin. I am currently a senior at St. John’s College High School in Washington, DC. I have been playing soccer for as long as I can remember, but only started playing competitively in 2014. I currently hold a 3.04 GPA, as I struggled freshman year but have worked hard and my grades have been on a steady incline since then. I scored a 1220 on the SAT, but am looking to improve that score as I retake it on October 4th, 2021. I am looking to continue my academic and athletic careers at the collegiate level, as I will bring a lot to the table no matter the institution I attend. I have faced many trials on and off the field in the past, but with the help of my family, friends, and coaches, I have been able to overcome and learn from these setbacks. I haven’t always been the best player on my team, but that has caused me to test my limits and become a better player, student, and overall person. I play either right outside back or center defensive midfielder, but I can adapt and learn to play any position I am put in, as I have played center midfielder, Center back, left outside back, and more.
