Walter Haakenson '24 Recruiting Profile

Soccer has been a passion of mine since I was five years old. I’m interested in pursuing soccer at the collegiate level, hopefully a division II or III program in a school with engineering majors. Soccer has introduced me to friends from a variety of backgrounds, encouraged mental and physical toughness, and taught me how to collaborate in difficult situations. Skills I will contribute to a collegiate team include a solid work ethic, positive attitude and academic excellence. I primarily play in the attacking midfield position, but am a versatile player and willing to contribute as needed. I am also frequently placed in attacking roles during setpieces due to my ability to header. I’m excited for the role that soccer will play in my college experience.
