Cooper Smith '26 Recruiting Profile

I started playing soccer when I was three years old. Over the years my vision and love for the sport have grown to make me who I am today. All I have ever wanted is to pursue soccer and try to make a living out of it. I've been trying to accomplish these things for a while, taking tiny steps like getting on a better team, winning some silverware, and going to a Benfica camp where international scouts watched me play and gave me feedback. I've captained many teams and always see myself as a leader and someone who puts the team first instead of my own stats or accomplishments. I also separate from the rest of the pack in my academics, being part of the national IB program and taking all AP or IB classes. I have a massive ambition to pursue soccer and that is why I am on this website sooner than most users and other plays. I have the passion and dream to play soccer alongside and past my educational career.
