Nyla Lassiter '23 Recruiting Profile

I aspire to be a college soccer player and a forensic scientist. I believe my skills can be used on the field because I have been playing soccer for officially one year, however my growth and determination to get better is what prevails on the field. The more I play the more I pick up and improve. I’ve never been so determined to play a sport other than soccer in my life. What makes me different from other recruits would be my determination and strong will to accomplish my goals. I want to be a college player so I will; I will not stop trying until I’ve met my goal. I am relentless, nothing will stop me from getting better and playing hard. Soccer became my entire life when I first stepped on the field and I went from my junior year of being in the dark to my senior year scoring goals and changing the way people view Akins Highschool. Despite our team never being taken seriously because of our record; thanks to our determination we scored on State champs Dripping springs. What was seen as impossible became possible because of determination. That’s why I believe I deserve a spot on a college team.
