Matthew Wallet '13 Recruiting Profile

I am 5'10'' and i weigh 132 ibs. I have 12 years’ experience playing soccer and I have played club for 4 years. It is going to be 6 by the time I graduate. I was the JV captain my freshman year and I have been assistant captain for varsity the following 2 years. I am the first to get to the field and the last to leave. I want to play college ball anywhere where I have a chance of making an impact and affecting a team for the better. I also want to play somewhere where I could possibly be scouted for a professional team.  That is my dream in life, to play professional soccer for as long as i can, wherever i can. My family is indeed in need of financial aid and that will be noted when the FAFSA is filled out. I am looking for a school away from home so I can see the different types of cultures and ways of life around the country. I think that would be a cool thing to experience. I believe that I want to major in either architectural design or broadcasting. That way i could maybe be a broadcaster for a professional soccer team if I am not good enough to make it pro. My athletic goals are to play as a freshman and by my senior year to be a captain. I would want to be one of the players others turn to for advice on and off the pitch. I also want to just make an impact. I want to make myself noticeable by all coaches and recognized as being a good sport and good player.  I watch soccer on the television every weekend. I mainly watch the English Premiere League. It is my favorite league and has my favorite team, The Tottenham Hotspurs in it.
