Paulo Junior Sousa Rodrigues '23 Recruiting Profile

Hey! I'm a 6 foot, 165 pounds left-footed left-back. I'm a very diverse player in terms of position, i can play in the back four, but also as a midfielder (6,8) and a right winger. 

I've played my first season in pro football in Luxembourg this year. I had my debut at 18 years old in the "BGL Ligue" and have accumulated 24 appearences (2nd most games in the squad), with 22 games as a starter (out of 30). Even though i've only registered 1 assist, i have displayed my defensive ability against the best wingers in the league and have stood my ground.

I've also played in the Luxembourgish national team, since the u12's (almost my whole youth). I've played in the u19 UEFA european qualifiers and elite round, and have also trained with Luxembourg's first team in their preparation for a game against Hungary.

All in all, i'd be interested to play collegiate football so i can enter the draft and make my way back to Europe through the MLS, whilst being able to pursue my studies at an academically high level at once.
