Mackenzie McNeely '28 Recruiting Profile

Growing up, soccer has always been a huge part of my life. From the moment I could walk, I had a soccer ball at my feet. I've spent countless hours practicing, playing in the most competitive environments, and competing in high school. These experiences have not only honed my skills but also taught me valuable life lessons about teamwork, perseverance, and leadership.

One of the most rewarding aspects of soccer for me is the sense of community it fosters. I've built lifelong friendships and developed a deep respect for the sport and those who play it. As I transition to playing college soccer, I’m thrilled to be part of a team that shares this passion and dedication.

In college, I hope to continue growing as a player and a person. On the field, my goal is to contribute to the team's success, whether through scoring goals, assisting my teammates, or bringing a positive attitude and strong work ethic every day. Off the field, I aim to excel academically and take advantage of the opportunities college offers to explore new interests and develop new skills.

Ultimately, my journey in college soccer is about more than just the game. It's about challenging myself, pushing my limits, and making the most of this incredible opportunity. I look forward to the hard work, the camaraderie, and the unforgettable experiences that lie ahead.
