Mark Surretsky '24 Recruiting Profile

I am seeking to play soccer at the collegiate level for a school that is the right fit, both academically and athletically.  

I played on Nutley High School's varsity team during my freshman and sophomore years. I then transferred to St. Benedict's Prep (Newark, NJ) in the summer of 2022 for my final two years. During the past 2 seasons as captain, we finished 32-1-0 conceding only 8 goals, ranked 17th nationally. In addition, I am team Captain for Cedar Stars Academy (Elite64), and represented Cedar Stars in the Capelli Sport Cup in Koge, Denmark during the summer of 2022. I finished my soccer career with CSA as 2024 USYS 19U National Champions.

I have a high soccer IQ and can play multiple positions. My most recent position is Left Back. I have a unique combination of speed, strength and stamina. Approaching the game with passion, toughness, selflessness, and a strong work ethic, my goal is to continually improve myself and grow as a player. I am very coach-able and a good teammate. I strongly believe I can be an integral part of the right team at the collegiate level. 

When I am not on the soccer field, in the gym or keeping up with my studies, I play piano, drums, bass, and sing.
