Ripken Stork '17 Recruiting Profile

I am a well-traveled student-athlete who has learned a great deal about soccer, about making friends in unfamiliar surroundings, and about life in general.  In choosing me, you get a serious student of the game who has played soccer since the age of three, and club soccer since he was nine.  All the knowledge and experience I have gained I am unafraid to share with my teammates.  I have five 'clean sheets' this year, and have scored three goals when extra firepower was needed in the field.  I do not believe that in the four different high school teams I have played on, I have ever made an enemy.  Academically, I have never shied away from challenging myself.  The fact that I started taking high school classes in 8th grade, as well as graduating a semester early speaks to this.  Bottom line:  Knowledgeable about the game and the world in general, a polite student who is just as determined to succeed academically as well as athletically, and a good teammate willing to go the extra mile to make himself and his team better.
