Matthew Sanchez '20 Recruiting Profile

Academics is key and I want to get a good education. I am undecided on my major but have interest in business, marketing, finance, and engineering.

Soccer is my sport. I have played recreationally since I was 4. Last year I played on 4 teams: Club, Varsity High school, Recreational kids, and Recreational kids vs adults. I also wanted to learn the sport more and make some money, so I went to classes and got my US Soccer Federation referee license.

For club soccer, I often played the entire game so my endurance is good. I am able to throw the ball in 30-40 yards and can place the ball where I want it, so for club and varsity high school I was asked to do most of the throw ins and my teammates were able to make some of them goals. Some of these videos are available on my NCSA profile.

Finally, during my freshman year in high school, I was also the QB and kicker. At 15, I was able to make 50-yard field goals too.
