Ryan Johnson '10 Recruiting Profile

My name is Ryan Johnson, and I am going to be a senior at Zion Benton High school in Zion, Illinois. I am currently 5'11'' and weigh 160 lbs. I am a three year varsity starter at Zion and I also start on my club team, which is ranked 11th in the state, as well. I am a very versatile player on whatever team I play for. What I can offer a team is my drive to win. I work hard at every practice and during every game, because honestly, I hate losing. Besides that, I have a lot of leadership qualities. I am a very vocal player which I feel is important to the game of soccer. Ideally, I would like to go to a larger school not to close to home. The college I want to go to has to make me feel like I am right at home. Also, I would like to go to school in the south if possible, but I am very open to any college anywhere in the country. Financial aide is important for me to have and will play a big part when selecting a school. I plan on majoring in a health related subject or the business of sports management, but I am still undecided. I do not mind sitting as a freshman, but I also do no want to sit three years and only play as a senior. Ideally, I want to start at least two years and get playing a good amount of playing time the other two years. In the long run I want to be a key player for my school.
