Charlie Smith '25 Recruiting Profile

Work hard. Get better. Now in my junior year of high school at Blue Ridge School, I am taking my work ethic and grit for the game into my academics and personal life. I am focused and determined to play at the collegiate level and working hard to balance training and studying.

I am an American born in Kenya, living in the USA. I have been trained by Kenyan, Brazilian and American coaches. I have consistently been told I am coachable and adaptable. I have always had a soccer ball at the end of my foot. It is my elixer. I have played at the Club level for 7+ years, always up top. This year my Club team Shore FC played at the National level and participated at the PA Classic College Showcase Dec 2-3 and the Baltimore College Showcase Dec 9-10, 2023. I am ready for this next level of the game. I am always looking for more challenges in the game.

My speed, touch skills, field sense and genuine love of the game are strengths I am proud of and enable me to be a strong contributor to my high school and club teams. I am a finisher and a goal maker. 

My secret weapon? Training with my Corgie for endless hours. True story. I owe a lof of my dribbling skills to her!
