Jacob Castro '22 Recruiting Profile

My collegiate goals are to obtain a degree in business management and marketing, to adapt to a new school environment, and become a member of a quality soccer program. I want to grow from my college experience, both as a person and a player.

What makes me different from others is my versatility and consistency. These strengths have given me the ability to play many different positions. What makes me a great candidate for collegiate soccer is my speed, agility, and my ability to read plays in game.

I have played soccer since the age of three. Soccer has grown into my passion. I have put a lot of time into growing my soccer skills and knowledge. I have also made the necessary sacrifices to excel academically. A the age of twelve I was accepted into the inaugural season of San Antonio FC's Pro Academy program. Our team has competed in the USDA Frontier Group/ MLSnext playing teams like FC Dallas, Houston Dynamo, and Colorado Rapids. At fifteen, I signed my first USL Pro Academy contract for San Antonio FC's first team. Being a part of a pro environment forced me to play quicker, and think faster, overall making me a better player.

I look forward to being part of a team's identity and having a sense of purpose.
