Kai Feng '23 Recruiting Profile

My name is Kai Feng. I am a 16-year old junior in the class of 2023 at Blacksburg High School in Blacksburg, Virginia (GPA: 4.6/4.0). I am a versatile midfielder for VBR Star U19 Elite in the CCL National League and an attacking midfielder for NC Fusion U19 in the ECNL National League, so I play against players as much as 2-3 years older than me. My strengths are creativity on and off the ball, vision, and breaking lines by passing and dribbling. My dream is to continue expanding my education while playing soccer at the highest level in college. My ultimate goal is to one day play soccer professionally. I am inspired by the story of Danny Karbassiyon, who grew up in nearby Roanoke, Virginia and played for the same local club (VBR Star) and went on to play professionally for Arsenal in England.

What separates me from other recruits is my versatility. While I mainly play attacking midfielder, I also play center mid, outside mid, forward, and outside back at NC Fusion, VBR Star, and ODP State and ODP East Region. I am familiar with playing in the 4-4-2 diamond, 4-3-3, 4-5-1, 3-4-3, and 3-5-2 formations as I have played for several different teams. In addition, I have experience playing and training overseas in Germany and Holland with the Virginia ODP State Team as well as in the Donosti Cup in San Sebastián, Spain with FC Barca Academy in 2019. In 2020, I was invited onto the ODP East Region international team to play in London, England; however, the trip was cancelled due to COVID-19.
