About me

I am a Class of 2027 player pursuing a structured gap year to continue developing and competing at a high level while maintaining strong academic engagement. I play for Dallas Hornets U19 MLS NEXT as a center defensive midfielder and center back; while I’ve played primarily at center back this season due to team needs, my natural position is as a CDM. My game is built on tactical awareness, composure under pressure, and the ability to organize play and break lines in possession. I bring a competitive, high-motor mentality and take pride in my defensive work, consistency, and ability to impact the game on both sides of the ball. Academically, I hold a 3.8+ GPA, a 1480 SAT, and a rigorous AP course load. I am seeking a program that will challenge me both athletically and academically.
