Matthew Ahnert '25 Recruiting Profile

Soccer has always been a part of my life, but it was not until my Freshmen year that I realized I wanted to play at the collegiate level.  Our high-school team was vulnerable that year and needed me to step up.  Playing on a subpar team and still making it to Districts taught me the value of teamwork, commitment, determination, and leadership.  Playing on that team also taught me that you always have to give 100% in everything you do, no matter what happens.  That lesson stays with me in everything I do, the most prevalent is throughout school.

When I am not playing soccer or doing schoolwork, I try to spend as much time as I can in nature. One thing, in particular, is fly-fishing, it helps me to refocus on everything and relieve stress.  I'm looking for a  program that would be a good fit for me athletically and academically.  I believe that I not only possess the abilities to perform for a college team, but also possess the skills, leadership, and work ethic to make an immediate impact on the team and others around me. As a multi-year two-team captain, I know that I have what it takes to be a leader on your team!
