Eddy Rudolph '27 Recruiting Profile

Grit, determination, and a relentless work ethic have defined my soccer journey. I take pride in being a competitor who does the hard work—locking down the opposition’s top athletes, delivering pinpoint crosses under pressure, and pushing myself daily to improve. My game is built on speed, strength, and technical ability, allowing me to be a defensive anchor while also providing an attacking spark from the backline.

As a left-back, I embrace the responsibility of shutting down elite opponents while contributing to the attack. My speed and physicality enable me to win 1v1 battles, while my precise crossing and passing vision create goal-scoring opportunities for my team. Whether delivering accurate balls into the box or executing well-placed switches of play, I read the field effectively and make smart, decisive decisions under pressure. Additionally, my ability to consistently execute 40-meter throw-ins provides my team with a unique offensive advantage.

My soccer journey has been defined by playing at the highest levels. I have been part of the Washington EPD/ODP player pool for the last five years, competing against top talent and representing my state with pride. I also gained valuable international experience playing in England and Spain, where I tested myself against some of the best youth players in the world. Earning a spot on my high school varsity team as a freshman and securing a starting position as a sophomore were significant accomplishments, demonstrating my ability to compete and contribute at an elite level from an early age.

Beyond my technical and tactical abilities, what sets me apart is my mentality. I am a competitor who never stops working, always seeking ways to improve and help my team succeed. I aspire to be part of a program that values toughness, discipline, and players who give everything for their team. Wherever I play, I will bring my grit, work ethic, and determination to make a meaningful impact.
