Damon Walskey '24 Recruiting Profile

My collegiate goal is to learn and continue to improve on my soccer skills.  College is not where I want my soccer career to end.  I would like to either make my way to the MLS or play overseas. 

I am very committed and focused on my future.  I have been team captain for my club team for the past 5 years.  During the off season I continue with my own conditioning, by coaching youth soccer and working on my own skills with other coaches on different soccer positions.  This allows me to better understand the game and to be a better leader for my team. 

I consider myself a team player that always gives 110% on and off the field.  Off the field I am a very quiet, laid-back person.  I like to go to the gym and the soccer field as much as possible.  On the field however, I am very vocal and communicate with my team the entire game.  I am an overall competitive person, but I also understand how to take constructive criticism and learn from mistakes.  I use my strength to win aerial headers as well as 50/50 tackles.  I have a 4.0 GPA and do not struggle in the classroom, making me a great candidate both, academically and athletically.
