Malcolm Berkley '20 Recruiting Profile

I hope to play high level soccer in college and I know without a doubt that I would be a great fit for many teams.  I'm a very technical, quick midfielder who can defend just as well as attack.  Born and raised in Paris, France until I was nine years old, I grew up playing soccer almost everyday, and I believe my play reflects that.  For the last two years, I've gone to Spain over the summer to play in an international tournament with a very talented French team.  Both times, we made it to the knockout rounds and--this year--to the quarterfinals, eventually losing on penalties.  I started every game.  This year, I am a starting midfielder for one of the top three 02 teams in Kansas: FC Wichita Academy.  Furthermore, I often practice with one of the top NAIA colleges in the nation.  Recently, I participated in an ID camp at Denver University.  Of around 400 academy players, I was told by three college coaches that I was "by a mile the best and most intelligent player there."  My soccer ambition is only matched by my educational aspirations: my weighed GPA is a 4.2 and I pride myself on my efforts at school.  I'm bilingual, I'm an editor at a school newspaper that ranked in the top eight nationally, and I want to play for you.
