Rei Kanda '26 Recruiting Profile

Growing up, my dream has been to become a soccer coach. Throughout my career, I've been lucky to play for some amazing coaches that taught me many things. I see playing in college as a crucial step toward becoming a better player, leader, and coach. It’s a chance to learn from top-level competition and gain the experience I’ll need to help guide future players down the road. 

As a dual position player(midfielder and winger), and being able to use both feet, I take pride in my ability to make things happen in the final third. My main strength is my passing range, particularly with through balls, that set my teammates up for goal scoring chances. On the wing, I love to take players on with a quick change of pace or a skill move, and send sharp crosses in. I also excel in creating separation from defenders and making timely runs into the pockets of space that lead to goals
