Next Level U Statement

My primary goal is to compete at the collegiate level for a reputable 4-year institution where I can pursue a rigorous degree in Business or Software Engineering. I aim to be a cornerstone of the program, contributing not only through technical proficiency but also through a high-level tactical IQ and vocal leadership.

On the Pitch

• Defensive Dominance: I am a composed yet aggressive defender who excels at reading the game, neutralizing threats, and consistently winning 1v1 challenges.

• Playmaking from the Back: Beyond winning the ball, I prioritize smart distribution. I look to initiate the attack with precision long-range passes, lethal through balls, and calculated set-piece delivery.

• Composure: I thrive under pressure, maintaining possession in tight spaces and serving as a stabilizing force for the backline.

In the Classroom

• Academic Discipline: I apply the same “student of the game” mentality to my studies, maintaining a high GPA through time management and a proactive work ethic.

• Future Focus: I am seeking a program that values the student in student-athlete, allowing me to build a foundation in business strategy and leadership that will serve me long after my playing days are over.
