Colin Hatch '27 Recruiting Profile

I am a driven and disciplined student-athlete with a deep passion for soccer and a strong desire to compete at the collegiate level. As a center back, I take pride in being the anchor of the back line, leading through communication, composure, and smart decision-making. I bring intensity, toughness, and consistency to every game, and I thrive under pressure in high-stakes moments.

Being a center back means more than just defending, it's about organizing the team, reading the game, and staying one step ahead of the play. I’ve developed strong instincts, a high soccer IQ, and the ability to stay calm and focused even when the game gets chaotic. I embrace physical challenges, win my 1v1 battles, and take responsibility for keeping our defensive shape tight and focused.

I’m a natural leader on the field, vocal and confident, and I hold myself to the highest standards in training and competition. Coaches can count on me to be coachable, dependable, and the kind of player who leads by example, on and off the field. I’m also committed in the classroom, understanding that success as a student-athlete starts with discipline and character in all areas of life.

I’m ready to bring my competitive mindset, leadership, and defensive strength to a college soccer program that will push me to grow as both a player and a person. I want to be part of a team culture that values grit, accountability, and winning the right way.
