Elsa Ranney Smith '24 Recruiting Profile

Hello from Santa Fe, New Mexico! 

Let’s be honest, how many people do you know from New Mexico? Have you even heard of us, the land of enchantment? Haha I doubt it! My name is Elsa Smith and I am a 2024 student athlete. My goals for college are to major in journalism and mass communications and continue to play soccer competitively. I think I am a good candidate because I work hard on and off the field. I would say I am a very dedicated player. I drive 2 hours or more, 4-5 times a week, just to practice with my club team that is located in a different city than mine. I believe I would be a good candidate for anyone's team due to my manners, respect, high work ethic, fighting spirit, humility, and coach-ability. I learn from my mistakes and I work harder to fix them and get things right. Not only do I work hard but I have good attitude and I am passionate for the game. I am continuously trying to get better and everyday I learn new things and progress towards my goal; playing soccer at high level.
