Payten Jacobs '24 Recruiting Profile

I have been playing soccer since I was four years old. I started off on a travel club team at the age 8. I played a year up with the 05 girls team. I started off as an outside defender, but over the years I have played every position on the field. My primary position is now outside midfielder but because of my experience over my travel soccer years I can now play everywhere on the field without a problem. Over my high school years of soccer I have played on the varsity team, my freshman and sophomore year I played on the junior varsity team as well as varsity. So I learn to work well with everyone around me.

I am looking to find a college that allows me to balance both soccer and academics. My ideal school would be close to home and offer a nursing or dental hygiene program. I have always enjoyed being a part of a team and I can't imagine attending a college without continuing this experience!
