Paul McCoy '26 Recruiting Profile

I have been playing soccer since age 4 and started playing keeper around age 7 or 8 when my coach handed me a pair of gloves. I played for a small club with ties to Levante UD in Valencia Spain, which afforded me the opportunity to compete in global competition in older age divisions. I played for Solar Soccer Club, a well-known club in North Texas in 23-24, before leaving to join the Dallas Hornets Soccer Club in 2024  

Soccer is my passion, second to my family.  I love attending training with my teammates and keeper training. You can often find me on the pitch with my club or high school teammates looking for a pickup scrimmage.  I have trained and competed in Valencia Spain twice - once for 10 days and in summer 2023, for two months  

When not on the field, I’m either spending time with my family or watching sports. I love to travel and especially like visits to the ocean where I can play beach soccer.

Ideally I would like to play somewhere professionally and will continue to work hard in hopes of living that dream. However, I am a realist and know even with hard work sometimes, you don’t get the dream. Therefore, I am committed to obtaining a good education and hope for the opportunity to continue playing soccer in college. My plan is to major in a sports-related field. I haven’t decided on a school, state, or even region.
