Evan Payne '17 Recruiting Profile

Soccer has played a huge role in my life for as long as I can remember.  I started playing when I was five, and I have been striving to play at the highest level possible ever since.  My current goal is to play at the collegiate level.  I am certain that it would provide invaluable experience on and off the pitch.

I have a good first touch as well as great vision.  Many times I have had the opportunity to be a team leader, and I have used that role to encourage and push my teammates to their full potential.  I always strive to do my best and am seeking guidance as well as constructive criticism to improve my game.

At school I work very hard to excel in all areas.  Being involved in NHS gives me the opportunity to tutor those who are struggling in certain subjects.  I volunteer with various youth soccer camps, including one at my own high school.  It is rewarding to see young kids learning to love the game!

My goal is to attend a college that will challenge me both academically and athletically.  I am interested in all levels of college soccer, as long as I can find the right program for me.  I look forward to my college experience with great anticipation!
