Gabriel Perez '27 Recruiting Profile

I wouldn't be here today without soccer. Ever since I was 8 it just took over my life in the best way possible. I want to go D1 or D2 and play college soccer. I am a goalkeeper. I found my pure talent for goalkeeping the second I stepped in the goal box. I will always love playing this sport no matter what comes my way. I'm always ready to be taught new things, I honestly just want to be the best. A lot of people think that goalkeeping is just about the big saves and they ask me "Is making big saves your favorite part about playing keeper and does it want to make you stay in that position?" and I always respond "The big saves are definitely cool and all, but I love this sport for all the challenges that come my way and how I always find a way to succeed after letting up a tough goal or even a big loss." I love leading the team no matter if we are down by 4 or if we are up by 8. They call goalkeeping a "job", if it is, it's my dream job and I hope I'll have this job forever.
