Jacob Mitchell '21 Recruiting Profile

I am a junior, class of 2021, at Palm Harbor University HS in Palm Harbor, Florida.

Soccer has been a big part of my life since the age of 4 when my mom introduced me to the game. Up until age 15, I spent my summers in Sweden where soccer is hugely popular. Beside becoming bilingual, these early years are when I developed my technical skills and learned to "see" the game.

My strength as a player is not just that I am a really good and fast athlete. I have excellent technical skills with both feet and a strong understanding of the game. I'm very coachable and can play in different systems anywhere in the midfield or on defense. I'm currently playing on the TBU ECNL U17.

I have for years desired to develop into a successful college soccer player and have put in endless hours in this pursuit. I am strong academically with a 3.7 GPA that has been earned while taking a challenging schedule that includes multiple AP classes.
