Abhijay Thunga '25 Recruiting Profile

I started playing soccer, like many others, at a very young age. As a kid I played in my backyard with a few friends every day. I fell in love with the sport and wanted to play for the rest of my life. I have encountered many obstacles, but I have always got back up and motivated myself to get better. Playing soccer has not just been a hobby all my life; it has become who I am. Throughout my life, soccer has been a driving force that has shaped my character and provided me with countless life lessons.

Playing soccer has taught me to value teamwork and take initiative. I pride myself on my unwavering work ethic and relentless drive to improve, constantly pushing myself to new heights. I would also consider myself a very good student. I have various academic accolades off the field and am always up for learning new things. I'm looking for a program that can provide me with a way to both get better on the field and learn new things off the field, no matter what the division, size, or demographic of the school is. I would consider myself very self-sufficient while also being a great leader and team player. Off the field, I am extremely disciplined and make smart decisions. I am committed to becoming the best version of myself and making a significant contribution to your esteemed college soccer program!
