Brady Carroll '25 Recruiting Profile

Born in Vladivostok, Russia; moved to the United States (Louisiana) after my first birthday; dual citizenship (Russia and United States), Father is a commercial attorney, Mother is a law school professor.  I want to play high level soccer in college and go as far as I can as a goalkeeper.  I live for this game.  I approach each training session as a chance to get better, learn, correct mistakes, and improve my overall game.  I'm agressive in the box and my biggest strength is my control of the final third.  I have a loud voice and constantly communicate with my teammates to eliminate developing threats before they happen.  I am very social, but approach training sessions and games as a business.  If you are coaching me, you will know that I will be a great teammate and give my best effort every time I step on the field.  You will know what you will get from me each and every day.
