Graham Thurley '22 Recruiting Profile

I have been playing competitive soccer since I was 8 years old and have played youth soccer at the highest level in the both the DA and MLS Next Academy system. I recently completed my first season playing in National Premier Soccer League where I competed with and against current and former D1, and professional players. 

My primary position is an attacking-mid role but am also versatile enough to slide into the middle of the pitch and play the center-mid role or drop to the backline and play right-back. I have many strengths including, my vision, accuracy in passing, ability to play with both feet, my understanding of the game, my speed of play, strength/explosiveness, and my desire to do anything to help my team succeed.

I have a strong passion for the game of soccer, with my goal being able to play at a high level in college, but my immediate focus is to continue to grow as a player, learn as much as possible and to gain new experiences.  

I am as passionate about my education as I am soccer, and the education I receive will be the driving factor in the school I choose to continue my academic and soccer career.
