Adam Traore '26 Recruiting Profile

Soccer has been a constant in my life since I was five years old. My journey has taken me from YMCA leagues to playing in France, where I first started developing serious skills. After moving back to the U.S., I continued improving through rec leagues and then club soccer, playing for Charlotte Independence, and now FC Athletico.

What sets me apart is my adaptability and commitment. Without a high school team at Cabarrus Early College of Technology, I’ve had to seek out competition and push myself in club soccer while balancing a tough academic schedule. My ability to manage both high-level academics and athletics demonstrates my discipline, work ethic, and passion for the game. I’m looking for a college program where I can continue growing as both a player and a student, and I’m ready to bring my determination, technical ability to the next level.
