Max Velez '26 Recruiting Profile

I was the starting left midfielder for the varsity team this year and also played striker and center mid occasionally. My goal as a student/athlete is go play soccer at the highest level, why you may ask well as a young kid I've also played baseball and soccer but now as a sophomore still playing both I've started to find love for soccer more than baseball. What makes me different from all the other recruits you may ask well my determination to play soccer at the highest level. When I was about 11 years old I had lost my mom to cancer and just 6 months lost my dad due to a car accident. The reason I try my work ethic is different is because I do the things I do for them so hopefully one day when I make it I know I did it for them and that they would be happy for me. My club team is Stateline SC and I am the caption of my team and also the starting left midfielder. I've also always been a good student in the classroom, with having a 3.3 GPA and also on pace to move up into harder classes. I treat school how I treat my sports with hard work and determination to always strive to do better.
