Kyle Nilsson '21 Recruiting Profile

A quick look at my profile will tell you that I'm a consistently strong honors student with an excellent work ethic, and that I'm dedicated to playing high level soccer in college while also pursuing a meaningful academic life. My coaches will tell you that I am effective as the glue of the team, and that I am a flexible, intelligent player. As a starting midfielder for Force North's BU16 NPL team, which competes at the highest level of Club Soccer in California, and as a two-year select member of NorCal's PDP State Pool, I am a solid backbone for the offense, and move into center forward when needed. 

Anyone who knows me will tell you that I'm a decent, kind person, and that my good character is as important to who I am as is being a good soccer player. I've brought my love for soccer into the community and work as a Grade 8 Referee for younger children. I am involved in Grassroot Soccer, an organization that operates in the poorest parts of the world to teach life-saving health practices through soccer, and this winter I will host a fundraising tournament for them at my high school. I'm excited to add to all of these activities and more in college.
