Matthew Miller '21 Recruiting Profile

I began my soccer career at the age of four playing for the City of Fort Lauderdale Recreation Soccer program at Mills Pond Park in Wilton Manors, Florida where I became the star of my team. Soon after, I joined Fort Lauderdale Select U-9s where I played center back and center midfielder.

Since then my game has developed immensely and my position is central defensive midfielder for my school's varsity team. Westminster Academy is a small school with only 1,100 students but we were able to reach the Regional Finals in 2020 which is farther than any other soccer team in our school's history. In addition to school soccer I play club soccer for Team Boca U-18 travel team.  Even though I was born in 2003 I was able to qualify for Team Boca’s U-18 Navy team. I chose this route to give myself a challenge which would make me a better player.

I am very interested in playing soccer in college and taking my career to the next level. From my position I give 110% for my team and follow our coaches instructions.

My coaches often put me at the central defensive position due to my intelligence of the game and great distribution. But I am able to play other positions to benefit team . My strongest attributes include my work-rate, excellent touch, and distribution.
