Nathan Gandhi '24 Recruiting Profile

Hey coaches,

My name is Nathan Gandhi.  I am an upcoming Junior at John P. Stevens High School, Edison, NJ.  We will be playing in White division this coming school year. My collegiate goals and aspirations are to play at a Divisions 3, NAIA, or JC level with a competitive sports program. I also wish to pursue nursing and to have a good community to possibly dorm in. A little bit about myself is that I can be a very outgoing person but gets straight to the point if needed to focus. I believe that this allows me to have fun with my team but then, get serious when need me. I also may be a little on the weaker side, but I have great game sense, and defensive capabilities.  That aside, soccer has made a big impact on my life, and I started playing soccer to try out a sport. But now, it has become something I cherished, making memories and a stress reliever for me to laugh and have fun. It really has become a part of me that I do not want to let go which is one reason I would like to play at the college level. I also like to play the trumpet!
