Jethro Oehrlein '25 Recruiting Profile

I have always wanted to be known for something I love. My goal is to make it to the highest level for soccer. I am always confident and strive to push my teammates to our goals. Being the best player on the field and the best teammate on and off the field is always important to me. 

I started playing soccer for a club called Wheaton Wings located in Wheaton Illinois. I played there from U8-U10. Then I moved to Chicago Fire Juniors West and played there from  U11-U13. I was able to play in the USSDA League when I was playing for them. Also during my time I was able to be apart of the Elite Training Program (ETP) and got selected to play at the Disney ESPN Showcase and successfully won it. After that still under my time at Chicago Fire Juniors West our team participated in Supercopa 2018 in Denver, Colorado and we were finalists. Eventually I moved clubs to play for Sockers FC Chicago. I have been at Sockers FC Chicago ever since. Most of the time during the off season I would do extra training and play in other indoor leagues and sometimes even futsal.

A big part of my development was playing in the USSDA league. Playing in a league as competitive as that was a great experience for my career. In 2022 I got to experience also playing in Switzerland during the summer and that to me was a great learning stage in my career to see the different countries play. During the summer I trained with the Chicago House AC U23 team and I currently am captain of the Chicago House Futsal Semi Pro Team. During this futsal season I got selected to play in the ID League All Star game. 

Some High School accomplishments I have earned so far are Captain, 2022 All Conference Honorable Mention, 2023 All State Watch List, 2024 All Conference, 2024 All Sectional Honorable Mention, 2024 All State Watchlist.
