Cullen Graham '16 Recruiting Profile

         I want to play at the highest possible level and help the team achieve their overall goal. I would work hard enough to be a valuable asset to the team while working towards my pre-law or engineering degree. What I believe makes me a good candidate for your team is that  I am a win first player;  I don't care who gets the "glory", I just want to go in and do my best to win the game.  Athletically I see the field very well,  have a good soft touch, very accurate long passes, not afraid to attack, and I am a very clinical finisher.
