Atticus Walker '27 Recruiting Profile

I’ve always believed that the best athletes are defined not just by talent, but by character, discipline, and a relentless drive to grow. As a soccer player, I take pride in being a leader on the field: calm under pressure, vocal in organizing the back line, and always focused on doing the small things right. Whether I’m playing center back, defensive midfield, or right back, I approach every match with intensity, intelligence, and a team-first mindset.

I captain my club team, the New Orleans Spartans FC 2009B, and was honored to be named Club Player of the Year for the 2024–2025 season. Most recently, I helped lead our team to a National Presidents Cup Championship, a moment that reinforced everything I love about the game: teamwork, grit, and rising to meet a challenge.

Off the field, I bring the same work ethic and focus to my academics. I'm a straight-A student at The Willow School, one of the top-ranked academic charter schools in the country, and I’ve scored a 32 on the ACT with a 1520 on the SAT (practice). I’m committed to pushing myself further, both in the classroom and on the pitch, and I’m excited about the opportunity to join a university community that values excellence in both areas.

Above all, I want to be part of a program where I can contribute meaningfully, continue growing as a player and a person, and be surrounded by teammates and coaches who push each other to be their best every day.
