Charles Wilkinson '25 Recruiting Profile

Soccer has always been a huge passion of mine ever since I was a kid playing with my friends in the neighborhood. I am a very competitive person, and I have always loved the grit, resolve and struggle for victory present in all forms of competition, but I especially love soccer for the freedom and creativity you have on the ball. Being a military brat, I never spent much of my childhood in one place. I currently play on Skyline Elite, an ECNL team here in Virginia, but I also have experience playing for various teams across different levels in New York and California. Each move I've made has brought a new team and new challenges to overcome. I have always had to fight to prove myself and earn playing time, which has developed in me a hardworking mentality and a passionate drive. I usually play as an attacking midfielder or winger. I love beating players through tight combination play or through dribbling one on one. I have immense love for this sport and am excited to take my passion and abilities to the collegiate level and beyond.
