Eli Pham '26 Recruiting Profile

I want to play collegiate soccer and always challenge myself to be better. My collegiate goals are to succeed on and off the pitch with athletics, academics, and to be the best person I can be. My goal is to play past the college level and play for a club in the U.S.A. or internationally.

I am in my 7th year with Columbus United SC B08 Lions, an Everton FC Academy International Affiliate. I like to work and train hard so I can become a better player. I value specific feedback from coaches that will help to improve my game and help me be more well rounded.  I currently play Centerback, but I am versatile and can also play outside back with a willingness to play anywhere.

My team plays in USYS NL PRO League, as well as the Great Lakes Conference (GLC) Premier 1 Division. We have made it to the USYS Regional championships the previous 3 years, but my goal is to get my team to the USYS National Championships this year.

As a Sophomore at Bishop Watterson High school, I played Varsity my freshman year, and by mid season of my first season in high school, I became a starter on Varsity as a freshman.  I am now at Bishop Watterson HS and play varsity.
