Liam "Dylan" McCarthy '11 Recruiting Profile

Please see my letter of release at the bottom of the page in the athletics section. I was recruited to play for University of Wisconsin Green Bay in fall 2012, received an athletic scholarship, and started 7 games and played in 10. However, I have decided not to return because I dislike the location of the school. I redshirted on the St. Mary's Men's Soccer Team that made it to the NCAA quarterfinals in fall 2011. I played in the 2012 spring season for St. Mary's, but didn't return due to financial reasons. I am motivated and passionate about continuing to play college soccer, and I will compete to win and work hard every minute I am on the field. I am a 6'3" center back and defensive middy from Santa Monica, California. I am big, fast, and strong. I have 6 years of club soccer experience. I was a starter on Gold Coast Xtreme Black Soccer Club, ranked 7th in the nation in 2011. "Dylan was the anchor and one of the major reasons the team finished 7th in the Nation in 2011," according to Coach Sean Dick. I was also selected to play in the 2011 Southern California High School All-Star game.The first video was shot at the Nomads College Showcase 2010 where we were Finalists in the Top Flight. The second video was shot at Surf Cup 2010. The third and newest video was shot this fall 2012 when I was playing for Green Bay. I am interested in a college with a strong soccer program and a strong academic program. I am committed and dedicated to the game of soccer and have been committed to every team I have ever been on.
