Mo Ouedraogo '26 Recruiting Profile

I have been playing competitive club soccer since I was six, and over the past four years, I’ve focused on playing at a high level. Coming from a soccer-centric family—my dad who is from Ivory Coast, played soccer. 

My coaches have highlighted my height and physicality, noting that I effectively use my frame to my advantage, especially as a defender. I’ve also developed a strong sense of vision and distribution, having played in midfield roles (#8, #10, and #11) at FC Dallas and currently for my varsity team. This versatility has helped me develop a well-rounded understanding of the game, making me a more dynamic and impactful player.

I believe that defense is crucial to a team’s success, and I’m committed to giving my all every minute of every match, playing as if it were my last. My ultimate goal is to play soccer at the highest level possible while pursuing a college degree. My dad, who has played at high levels himself, has always emphasized how rewarding this journey can be, and I’m determined to follow in his footsteps
