Hector Guzman '27 Recruiting Profile

My name is Hector Guzman, and I am a 16-year-old midfielder with a passion for soccer that drives me both on and off the field. I currently attend Community Christian School in Wilson, NC, where I play varsity soccer and maintain a 3.8 GPA. I also compete at the Division 1 level with Wayne County United Soccer Club in Goldsboro, NC, which has pushed me to develop as a high-level competitor and well-rounded athlete.

My primary position is midfield, where I thrive due to my vision, work rate, and ability to control the tempo of the game. I believe midfielders are the heart of the team, and I take pride in being a reliable link between defense and attack. What sets me apart from other players is my soccer IQ and consistent decision-making under pressure. I study the game, not just play it, and I’m always looking for ways to elevate my performance.

Leadership is one of my strongest attributes. Whether it’s encouraging teammates during tough moments, leading by example through my effort, or taking responsibility on the field, I strive to be someone others can count on. I’ve learned that leadership isn’t just about being vocal it’s about being dependable, resilient, and always putting the team first.

Academically, I am dedicated to excellence and believe that discipline in the classroom supports discipline on the field. My goal is to play collegiate soccer at a program where I can continue to grow as a player and a student. I want to be part of a team culture that values hard work, integrity, and unity. Long-term, I hope to use my college experience to not only compete at the highest level but to develop leadership skills that will serve me in life beyond soccer.

I bring energy, heart, and a true love for the game every time I step onto the field. I am ready for the challenge and opportunity that college soccer presents and am committed to earning my place through effort, humility, and persistence.
