Daryn Boykin '26 Recruiting Profile

From the moment I first kicked a soccer ball at the age of five, the sport became more than just a game; it became a passion that fuels my ambition both on and off the field. The comradery, the strategic thinking, and the shared pursuit of victory within a team have instilled in me a deep sense of purpose and dedication. I thrive in the collaborative environment of team sports, and I eagerly contribute to achieving collective success. 

Throughout my years of playing, I've embraced versatility, adapting to roles ranging from forward and attacking midfielder to outside defense. While I am comfortable in each position, my heart lies with the defensive. The challenge of anticipating the opposition's movements, protecting our goal, and initiating counterattacks resonates deeply with my competitive spirit. I am committed to relentless improvement and bringing a strong defensive presence to a collegiate team.

Beyond the soccer field, my interests extend to track and field, where I find solace in individual pursuits. I am also a passionate painter, where I can embrace creativity and expression. I believe these diverse interests contribute to a well-rounded character and a unique perspective that I can bring to a college team. I'm excited to continue playing at the collegiate level.
