Kerod Tessema '26 Recruiting Profile

I am a student who has the passion to go far in the future using soccer. I am not very academically strong and haven’t been able to show my skills using a school sport based on that reason. What makes me different than other recruits is that I adapt fast to different positions. I also let my confidence guide me. Even thought Im not academically strong, my dream has been to go to UCLA to play soccer since middle school. Everybody I tell that too says I won’t make it because of my academics and because of competition but I try to ignore that and stay confident.
