Jefferson Clugy-Soto '14 Recruiting Profile

I'm currently attending Rio Hondo College in Whittier, CA and plan to go on to a four year university next year. This season I was a starter and played right back. .

I've been playing soccer since I was 5 (started on the streets in Venezuela where I am from). I started competitive soccer in 4th grade when my family moved back to the U.S.  I am very dedicated and love playing the game.  I practice everyday even when there is no club or school practice.  I go to the gym regularly to condition.  Everyone says I'm a good team player.  My strengths are defense, passing, and kicks.  I also have good stamina.  I've played over the years striker, right back, right wing, center defender, center or defensive midfielder. My coaches tend to move me to the position they most need me.

I was picked twice for the New Mexico ODP training and one year was invited to be part of the U.S. Soccer Training Identification program. This year our high school team made it to the semi finals in TX playoffs and I was named to Conference 1st Team. And was the Defense MVP runner up.

My goal is to play first college soccer and then pro soccer.  For school I am interested in  studying Architecture or Computer Sciences.
