Bonnie Bankston '23 Recruiting Profile

My collegiate goals are to play at a D1 or D2 school as a  goalkeeper or an attacking midfielder. I aspire to be the best player and teammate that I can. I will also be working hard to reach my goal of becoming a pediatrician or pediatric dentist. I have maintained a 4.0 GPA my whole life and intend on keeping my academics in high priority. I differ from other recruits athletically because I am a good all around player. I have played soccer since I was four years old; throughout this time I have played every position on the field. More recently, I have switched between starting keeper, attacking midfielder,  or forward.  In school soccer, I split my time between the goal and field. I was the second highest scorer on the team with 7 goals this season. As a club player, I was the top keeper in the U16 Athena A Division, only allowing 3 goals in the 2020 season (not including non division tournament play). I am a very versatile player who is willing to play wherever needed and will put in the work whether in the goal, on the field, in the weight room, or in the class room. I have always strived to be the best in everything I do, whether athletically or academically, and I intend to keep striving to reach my goals as both a player and a student.
