Matias Restrepo '24 Recruiting Profile

Growing up in Brazil surely made me develop a growing passion for soccer at a very early age. From the moment I kicked the ball for the first time when I was 6 until the present day, soccer has been a major part of my life. Playing at the college level would be the ultimate culmination of my years of dedication to the sport. I am an attacking midfielder who can also play very well on the wing due to my explosiveness and acceleration, the creation of the forward build-up is one of my favorite roles. I have played hundreds of matches in several tournaments on a national and international level, something that never changes is the thrill and passion you get individually each game and the positive connections you make with teammates and coaches. Outside the field, I am a dedicated student who takes my academic responsibilities seriously and I am confident that I can balance my studies with soccer commitments. Getting into a college that helps me achieve my academic ambitions while also being on a team that suits my playing style is definitely my goal.
