Austin D'Anna '17 Recruiting Profile

    My overall goal is to play soccer at the highest possible level there is.  this past year was a memorable one for me as I led the entire nation in goals for the class of 3A and was 4th overal with all classes with 48 goals in 20 games. I would like to think of myself as the player that, in a tough match, can win the game single-handedly with a touch of magic. In a pressure situation, I want the ball at my feet. I feel like I'm a good candidate because my work rate and intensity is contagious. I like to think that it brings the best out of the rest of my teammates.  What makes me different from the other recruits is the combo of athletic ability and academic ability. I am in the IB program and have a weighted GPA of 4.5, so that paired with soccer I feel gives me an advantage compared to other recruits who maybe don't have the best grades.  Also, I am accountable for, I am responsible. You wont see me partying and drinking on the weekends and posting negative things on social media. I am a respectful young man who has built up a very good reputation and I really do not want to tarnish that.  All in all, if I were to be recruited to a college, they would be receiving a player that can take over a game by himself, a player who is 100% dedicated to playing at not just the college but pro level, a leader, a student-athlete who cares about his grades, and an all-around respectful guy who does the right things to make an attempt to live the best Christian life as possible.
