Brian Lanier '21 Recruiting Profile

I have been playing soccer for quite a while now, so I have developed love and passion for the sport. I have learned that nothing good comes easy, especially if you want something worth achieving. Over my soccer career, I have acquired abilities that have helped me as a person on and off the field.  Throughout my many years of playing, I have had many humbling experiences including loosing in the 2019 Oregon State Cup Final. Up until then, I always had successes in soccer individually and collectively, and as I played at a higher level this made me realize that there are other players and teams all over the country who are just as good, if not better than me. My perspective changed completely which made me work harder, prepare better, and be more cognizant of the small details that make a player stand out. I am very serious about soccer and my goal is to play at the highest level possible. I am a goalkeeper who works hard and is coachable. My strengths are shot-stopping, claiming crosses, work ethic, confidence, penalties, leadership, and communication. I am a captain for my High School and Club Team. As captain for both these teams, I am positive and supportive to help my team get a result in a match.

As a student, I hold a 3.7 GPA.  I  serve as a  member of the National Honor Society and as the President of the Key Club at my school. I am a student-athlete that is driven and hard-working. I have also been involved in Younglife and am a registered referee.
