Joseph Lorek '23 Recruiting Profile

Thank you for taking the time to look at my profile. I'm a hard-working, determined, and very coachable athlete who is always looking to compete and I want to do everything I can to help the team. 

I played for Missouri and then Kansas ODP teams from 2016 until 2021. I was selected to the state team each year, and a starter all but one year. I was also selected for the 2020 and 2021 ODP Midwest Regional Camps.  For high school, I was the varsity goalkeeper from 2020 through 2022, and team captain my junior and senior seasons. We play in one of the best conferences in Missouri. As a senior, I was selected to the All-State Academic team, All-Region, All-District, and 1st Team All-Conference and Conference Goalkeeper of the Year despite having a very challenging season. I was also voted Team MVP. I am also the captain of my club team, which competes in the ECRL, playing some of the best teams in the Midwest. This past season, I was selected to the inaugural All-ECNL Regional Team.

Academically, I am also one of the top students in my graduating class with a 4.24 GPA. I am enrolled in multiple honors, AP, and college classes. I am also heavily involved in my high school Junior ROTC program, holding numerous leadership positions and competing with the JROTC Raider Team (fitness challenge team).

After high school, I would like to study something involving criminal justice, biology, exercise science, or history.  I am looking forward to playing the best competition possible while getting the best education possible.
