Taylor Rodgers '26 Recruiting Profile

My name is Taylor Rodgers and I am a 5’2” outside attacking fullback / winger. I will graduate from Columbia Falls MT High School in 2026. With my busy soccer schedule, I strive to keep my grades up to high honors and I am a part of the Family, Career, and Community Leaders of America (FCCLA). In my free time, when I am not playing soccer, I love baking, biking, camping, paddle boarding, swimming, boating, skiing, and playing with my two golden retrievers. 

I have played club soccer since the 3rd grade, and I am continually trying to improve my game. I am the soccer player today, not because of my wins, but because of my battles and how I overcame them. I feel that the key events that inspired me to want to play college soccer are playing and training with the MT ODP team in Italy and Germany.

The reason I feel like I am a great candidate for future recruitment is that you are not only getting a solid defensive fullback, but also a wingback who has the stamina, speed, and ball-handling skills to assist in making goals. So, you are getting two players in one. Not to mention I feel comfortable playing any position on the pitch, other than the keeper. 

Over the many years of training, I have developed into a possession-style player who can set up quick and accurate passes in 360 degrees of the pitch. I feel that my core strengths are my positive attitude, work ethic, loyalty, I NEVER QUIT, and appreciation of the game I love.

I am dedicated to reaching my future goals and I am currently being trained and mentored by former pro and FVU Executive director, Damion Blackburn. Cell (937) 266-6854, Email [email protected]
