Avery Higgins '25 Recruiting Profile

I have loved the game of soccer ever since I was little. I've played competitively for over 10 years in my hometown of Manhattan and in Kansas City. Even at a young age, I played on multiple teams, many of them with kids older then me. I am always working to improve my game by getting more touches on the ball, running on the track, and working out in the weight room. Soccer is a huge part of my life and my family is very supportive. As well as soccer, I play varsity basketball and run varsity track for my high school. My sophomore year, I qualified for state in both. I attend a small, rural high school outside of Manhattan that does not offer soccer, so I take advantage of as many opportunities as I can to train and play. During the spring season, I work with my Manhattan club coach and play with his high school boys team. My goal for college is to play for a competitive soccer team while earning my degree in biology or pre-med studies. It is important for me to find the right environment for me to be successful at both. I am proud of what I have accomplished in my soccer career so far and look forward to what the future holds.
