Zander grant '26 Recruiting Profile

A little background on me: I have been playing soccer for 13 years. I have been a starter in the MLS Next league for the past 4 years. I have had the opportunity to play competitively overseas. I am a two-time invitee to both the US Boys National Team talent ID camps (at U-14 and at U-15) and the Jamaica Football Federation U-15 Boys National team ID camps. I have also been called up to training camp for the U-17 Jamaica youth team, with hopes of getting to play in CONCACAF in the Fall of 2024. My team was ranked #2 in the country for the 2023 MLS Next Cup, the top competition in our league and I was chosen as "A Player to Watch" for that tournament. I have competitive experience playing: striker, winger, and outside back. It is my dream to continue to develop my skills in order for me to play at the highest possible level, in college and in the pros.

My strengths on the pitch include: speed, dribbling, good field vision, coachability, and good decision-making on the ball. I work very hard on and off the field. I support my team and my teammates. I take feedback well. Most importantly, I have a true passion for the beautiful game.
