Zachary Bluestone '25 Recruiting Profile

I have been playing soccer since I was 6 years old. I love playing. My goal is to play internationally and in college, with the hopes of one day becoming a pro. I know it’s difficult - but nothing is impossible if you put your mind to it and work hard.

Academically, I have always been an A/B honor roll student and was a Georgia Presidential Scholar. I completed my high school junior and senior years with straight A's (class of 2025) at Arizona State University Preparatory Academy online and was graduated from high school with a 3.85 GPA.

On the pitch, in the US I have played ECNL and US Soccer DA and was part of Georgia ODP for several seasons. I have played internationally as well, including Italy, Portugal, and Germany.

In 2023 I was scouted and approved for a prestigious roster spot on FC Bayern Munich's Global Academy team for the inaugural 2023/24 season under head coach Klaus Augenthaler. The team did very well, 20-3-7, winning in the German first and second divisions. In 2024, I was one of only six players invited back to rejoin the team in Munich for the 2024/25 season. We finished the season an incredible 24-5-1.

I am primarily a defender and midfielder, playing the #6 position most of the season - but I'm also one of the more versatile players on the team - having played 4 positions this season - and 7 last year. Living in Germany and training with FC Bayern under a 7-time Bundesliga and World Cup champion, has been an unbelievable experience.

For the 2025/26 season, I was scouted by Sevila FC in Spain and offered a roster position to join their U23 team in the fall.
