Sanjay Thuppul '26 Recruiting Profile

I am a 16-year-old goalkeeper with extensive international and national experience, recognized for my leadership, discipline, and composure under pressure. As a multi-sport athlete, I successfully balance athletics, academics, and community service, consistently demonstrating teamwork, dedication, and a results-driven mindset to excel both on and off the field.

Internationally, I competed with PSG Academy in France, winning the Bloney Cup and participating in prestigious tournaments such as MIC-Spain, Rimini-Italy, and the Prague Invitational, where I earned Player of the Month honors in May 2024. Additionally, I competed in the Surf International Cup in Spain as a guest player with the IDA Reading (England) team. Nationally, I’ve trained with Atlanta United RDS since 2018, participated in multiple ATLUTD RDS Showcases, and was recently invited to the Minnesota United FC MLS NEXT PRO Combine.

Off the field, my community involvement includes volunteering with the Red Cross, Special Olympics Georgia, Empty Stocking Fund Atlanta, St. Jude’s, Inspirit AI, and leading the “Cleats for Africa” initiative.

My aspiration is to play collegiate soccer at the highest level while pursuing a degree in medicine. My combination of international athletic experience, academic commitment, leadership, and dedication to community service uniquely positions me as a valuable addition to your program and university community.
