Ryan Calkins '25 Recruiting Profile

Hello, My name is Ryan Calkins. I am a 2025 forward playing for Dos Pueblos High School in Goleta, CA and Ventura Surf 05/06 Club in Ventura CA. I have been playing soccer since I was 4 years old and have a love and passion for this sport that has driven me to be the best soccer player I can be. I work hard, love being on a team and play with a huge heart. I work very hard in school, focusing much of my off the field time to studying and relaxing with friends and family. I hope to continue playing soccer well beyond my college career and am interested in the sciences, hoping to become an athletic trainer or physical therapist. I have been described as fast, agile and athletic and my nickname is the Little Tank. My college aspirations are to be challenged both on and off the field. I thrive in a high level of play and feel a competitive athletic and scholastic school would fit me best. 

I made the varsity team as a freshman and received the Charger Award for always working hard and never giving up. This same year, Dos Pueblos High School won the 2021-2022 Girls Soccer CIF Southern Section Academic Award. I broke my collar bone colliding with the opponents goalie at the beginning of the 2022-2023 season, but have since fully recovered and am back stronger than ever with bones of steel, literally! We just had our first club tournament of the season and we won first place! Looking forward to the new season!
