Ellis Mueller '25 Recruiting Profile

My name is Ellis Mueller and my life as a student at The High School Of Art & Design along with my life outside the classroom has been influenced by the sport I love and the sport I dream of playing in college - soccer! I have played soccer my whole life since I was five years old and it has shaped who I am, how I act, and who I have met along the way. After first putting on that recreational league  jersey as a young kid, I knew I wanted to become better and get to a higher level where soccer would be a major part of my life. Currently I'm playing in the National Academy League (MLS II) as  well as MLS Next with BW Gottschee, where I hold an influential spot on the team as a CDM and I'm pushing myself each day to better my team whenever we play. Playing as a center defensive midfielder, stringing our attack together and being composed on defense has been my role on the field and I am trying every day to become better at my position, to control the game every time I step onto the field. I have learned that if I focus  and reach for a goal I can succeed in that aspect of my life, education or sport. With my qualities both on and off the field I hope to further extend this goal by playing the sport I love in college while also pursuing my academic goals that I have been striving for during my career as a high school student and athlete.
