Jamison Burgess '21 Recruiting Profile

On the field, my defensive mindset helps me and my teammates keep the opponent out of our net. I am a defensive enforcer who is not afraid of any match up or challenge that we face. One of the things about my play that's useful is I can play the whole defensive line (LB/RB/CB/Stopper/Sweeper). Because of that, I feel I have a lot to offer a team depth and flexibility wise. I also am used to guard key players on man to man match ups to limit their ability to change the game. I give it my all every time I step onto the field to improve and win. 110% is how I grew up playing and that has helped make me the player I am today. 

Outside of soccer, I am an A honor roll student who takes my schooling as seriously as my game. I have been helping my little brother learn and play soccer as he's grown up. In the winter of 2019, I even had stepped in as a coach for his team while the coach was away for personal reasons. I feel that my purpose in life is to give back to the community that's helped me grow not only as a soccer player but as a person as well.

My goal is to be the first in my household to get a bachelor's degree while also continuing my soccer career through college.
