Henrik Jurkovic '25 Recruiting Profile

I have played soccer my entire life and aspire to become a professional. I love the game and everything about it. I really enjoy training on my own as well as with my team. I watch professional games as much as possible, and of course love playing games. It is a focal point of my life and what I think about the most. I am a student-athlete and school is just as important to me as playing. I take pride in getting good grades just as much as I do every time I step on the field. I am really passionate and willing to put my body on the line for the sake of my team. Personal accomplishments are great but the best feeling is winning as a team. I am determined to achieve my dream and believe that I will one day.
