Jordan Burns '27 Recruiting Profile

I love the game. I love the competition, the energy, and the constant challenge to improve—not just for myself, but for my team. Soccer has always been more than a sport to me; it’s where I find purpose, push my limits, and lead with both heart and grit.

As a smaller defender, I’ve learned to embrace what sets me apart and how to be tough. I bring speed, agility, and a sharp understanding of the game. I love the challenge of going up against bigger, stronger players—and I don’t back down. Opponents often underestimate me, and that creates an advantage of its own. I stay composed under pressure, win tough 1v1 battles, and break lines to spark attacks. My goal is always to make smart, decisive plays that support my team—whether that’s stepping into a tackle, driving forward on a counterattack, or connecting a pass that leads to a scoring chance.

Being named captain this season was a huge honor, and it’s a role I take seriously. I lead by example, encourage my teammates, and bring intensity every time I step on the field. I’m excited for what’s ahead and driven to keep growing at the college level—on the field, in the classroom, and as a leader.
