Jack Lydon '15 Recruiting Profile

I am a senior leader of my high school team, Suffield High School.  My team finished our regular season undefeated with a record of 15-0-1 .  Most recently Suffield high school boys soccer has won the Connecticut State championship the past three years.  I am currently looking at D1, D2 and D3 schools in the Northeast, but have not made a decision yet.

In addition, I have been a starter on the top premier club in Connecticut, FSA FC for the past 7 years.   I am a great team player, work hard and lead by example.  I can play any defensive back position   I played mostly outside back when I was younger.   More recently, I have moved to center back (holding back) for both my club team, FSA, and my high school team.    In high school, I started every game at right back as a sophomore and junior and am now playing center back as a senior.    I believe my strengths are: field vision, touch, making runs off the ball and accurate passing.

I have always dreamed of playing soccer in college.   I have played competitive soccer since I was 8 years old.  I love the game.   I am a huge Manchester United fan and have followed them for years.

I am looking for a school that combines a great academic environment with a great soccer program and coaching staff.  I am interested in many subjects and am very strong in Math, and History.  I would like to stay involved with sports in some way when I graduate from college.  My concentration as I look at colleges is in the northeast.
