Gabriel Romero-Raas '26 Recruiting Profile

I am Gabriel Romero-Raas, an exceptional soccer player driven by dedication, passion, and an unwavering desire to excel. Since I first learned to walk, the soccer ball has been an extension of my feet, igniting my love for the sport.

After two transformative years at the Barcelona Residency Academy USA, I have grown immensely and developed into a versatile player comfortable as both a commanding midfielder and a decisive forward.

Joining the Houston Rangers for the 2024 MLS Next season is a significant milestone in my journey, representing my readiness to embrace greater challenges and seize every opportunity that comes my way.

Additionally, I was thrilled to participate in the prestigious Gothia Cup in Sweden in the summer of 2023, competing against the world's top youth talents.

Beyond soccer, I am a well-rounded individual, excelling academically with honors courses and a 3.5 GPA. This season, I have chosen to focus on academics while continuing to play for my school's St. Thomas varsity soccer team, demonstrating my commitment to achieving a well-rounded and balanced future.

As I embark on the next chapter of my journey, I seek to contribute my passion, dedication, and skills to a college community that values both academic excellence and athletic prowess.
