Keely Franklin '26 Recruiting Profile

Below are things my coaches say about me.

A composed and technically skilled midfielder, Keely brings a unique blend of tactical intelligence, versatility, and international experience. Currently a starter for FC Malaga City Femenino in Spain, she has competed in a 10-month season, developing under European playing styles and consistently elevating her game. Next season, she will continue her growth at Inspire Development Academy Sheffield in the UK.

Her ability to dictate play from central midfield and push forward into the attack sets her apart. With a natural calmness under pressure, she provides stability and leadership on the pitch, helping teammates stay composed in high-stakes moments. Defensively, her positioning and work rate make her a reliable force, while her technical skills and vision allow her to contribute to the build-up and final third.

With a 3.60 GPA and 15 completed college credit hours, Keely demonstrates strong academic discipline alongside her soccer aspirations. She will enter university with three years of NCAA eligibility remaining.
