Khabir Gbaja '19 Recruiting Profile

I've been playing soccer since I was 5. It has always been part of my life. I've always been very passionate about the game, but as I enrolled at Riverside Military Academy, my soccer level increased drastically. I learned more about the game and also took my skills to another level, both technically and tactically. All of this goes to my coach. He showed me that soccer is truly more than a game.

The goal has always been to play college soccer and now I couldn't ask for anything more than that, considering the level that I'm at now. I feel me being in a military school, I now have the discipline that a player at a higher level needs now to succeed in the game as well as the important values of a strong leader. I work just as hard in the classroom as I do on the field. I'm keeping my  GPA up to pass the requirements of a ll the top Colleges. I'm a leader at my school and I'm on the Honor Council in my school too.

I want to go to a college where I can push myself just as hard in both the academic buildings and on the soccer field. I'm keeping my options very open to any college that is the right match for me. I aspire to get into a great college and make everyone around me proud of my accomplishments.
