Benjamin Wilson '19 Recruiting Profile

As a Freshman in High School I made the decision to graduate in 3 years. I believe this will allow me the time needed to make the right choice when picking a college. While I'm graduating in 2019, I plan on starting my 4 year undergraduate degree in January of 2020.

At the age of 6 I started playing soccer in recreational leagues and began playing competitively at 10. At the age of 11 I started training at The Grover Gibson Soccer Foundation. (GGSF) For the past 5 years my continued training has led me to a State Cup Championship with PWSI at U13 and Regional and National US Club competition with Fredericksburg FC. At 15, I began training with FFC's U23 summer league and in the Summer of 2018 I played internationally with CCL United in Denmark, then Sweden and competed in the Gothia Cup competing against national academy teams from Nigeria and Sweden. 

In addition to training at GGSF, Ive been fortunate to train under a diverse number of International coaches and players from Mexico, Honduras, Columbia, Brazil, Germany and Spain to name a few.

Currently, I play centerback and co-captain for Fredericksburg U19 squad at 17. I believe my training and experience has prepared me for all collegiate levels both academically and athletically and look forward to what the future holds.  Academically, I met my goal of graduading early with Distinctive Honors and a 3.94 GPA. Additionally I work part time for FFC maintaining the training field where I compete and train.
