2013-2014 Highlights
2013 HighlightsPersonal Statement
I am a strong center back who is good in the air and calm under pressure. I have the ability to organize the back four and turn defense into attack. I am a dangerous aerial threat on set pieces and am captain on both my club and high school teams. I can also play holding midfielder when required.
I finished with a 4.5 GPA last semester and am confident that I can continue to play soccer at the next level.
"Very strong in tackles. Great distribution talks and organizes well. Rarely made any mistakes. Talks and organizes very well. Was a great leader and probably the best player at the combine. A division 1 calibre player." -AX Soccer Directors Alex Grendi and Simon Deeley
"Pulskamp has the potential to be a very good college player according to one D1 coach in attendance. Scouts see a 6’1 center back that was dominant in the air, and showed excellent strength in his 1 v 1 battles throughout the day." -Top Drawer Soccer Staff
