Colin McMahon '26 Recruiting Profile

My name is Colin Mcmahon and I am junior at Naperville North High School. I have been balancing high level competitive soccer for 9 years along with a rigorous course with a current GPA of 3.89/4.0. My goal is to play competitive soccer at the collegiate level at a school with a strong academic reputation. I feel I would be an asset to any team because I will probably be one of the most versatile midfielder for my team. I play center back for my Galaxy E64 team and for my high school team. My Galaxy team won the Illinois State Cup Championship in 2023 and we were USYS Midwest Regional Semi Finalists. Last season we were 2024 Illinois State Cup Finalist and E64 Midwest Champions. I am also a three time Illinois ODP state team starter 2019, 2020, 2021 and a two time ODP Midwest Regional Pool  player 2020 & 2021 My high school team completed our state run as third in the state of Illinois last year. I was awarded ALL CONFERENCE my sophomore varsity season. We finished 23-2-3 on the year and had a 25 game unbeaten streak allowing only 16 goals in 28 games. 

I can strike a ball from distance with good power in both my left and right foot. I played out wide for many of my earliest years and I am strong at crossing and finishing in the box. Due to my stature ( 6'1") I am dangerous out of the air. I can win balls in the midfield, defend with aerial play and I have scored many headers off of set pieces for my team. My adapatablily allows me to see the field and I have good off the ball intelligence. One quality that sets me apart is my ability to read and intercept passing patterns. I hope to use my talents, to grow my game more at the next level and be an important contributor to my college team on and off the field. I look forward to this process.
