Colin Stauffer '22 Recruiting Profile

I was born in Prince George, a small town in northern British Columbia, Canada. I played soccer for the Prince George Youth Soccer Association recreational program from age 3 to 12, then at age 13 I joined the select program. I also played for the Vancouver Whitecaps academy for 10 years and went to many Whitecaps residency and showcase events. I have continued to play for the PGYSA academy and the  select program, and I am heading into my final year with the club.

I am a very technical player with great passing and footwork. My vision and soccer IQ helps me see the game two steps ahead. Many coaches have described me as an extremely hard working player that always give 110% in training and matches. I am a great leader both on and off the field and I also have a very coachable personality. When I am given advice from a coach I use it to make myself a better student athlete. Some professional soccer players that I try to model my game after are Kevin De Bruyne, Bruno Fernandes and Paulo Dybala. 

In the classroom I am a very hard working and attentive student. I study very hard and maintain a 3.85 GPA at College Heights Secondary School. My goal is to play high level collegiate soccer, and  study sports sciences or business. I hope to find the right college for myself and play at the highest level of competition I can. I am open to all options and I am determined to achieve my goals that will benefit me both athletically and academically.
