Addison Porter '24 Recruiting Profile

Hi, I’m Addison!

My goal is to play soccer in college and contribute to a great team culture, while studying to be an architect or engineer. Playing at a collegiate college that puts equal time between academics and athletics is a primary goal of mine. 

For as long as I can remember, soccer has been my true passion, my driving force, and my constant companion. Over the years, I have advanced my skills playing on club soccer teams for the past 14 years with Michigan Jaguars and Liverpool. 

When I got to high school, I became a two sport varsity athlete in soccer and basketball. Improving my speed, endurance, throws, and becoming a versatile athlete. The one balance to being a two sport athlete was keeping up academically. I’m going into my senior year with a 3.1 GPA and 1020 SAT score. I’m proud of bringing up my grades after pandemic school life. Overall, it has taught me a greater understanding of balancing both school and sports.

Some recent soccer highlights include becoming league, tournament and district champions. During the season I scored 7 goals as center back, played 80+ mins/game and served as a large contributor to both defensive and offensive plays. Being 6’0 my height proved to be an advantage at the net, throw ins, and 1v1’s.

As a player, I am committed to fostering a positive environment, leading by example, and uplifting those around me. My goals in soccer are ambitious. I enjoy competitive play. But as much as I love playing hard on the field, making lifetime friends off the field comes first. When I'm not playing soccer, working, studying, or training for basketball, I’m hanging out with friends and family.
