Andre Hernandez '21 Recruiting Profile

I am looking towards attending a college and playing soccer there. I have been receiving great grades throughout my high school career. I have been playing soccer since I was five years old. I play anywhere up top and some of my strengths are that I am very good technically with the ball and I am also very fast. I use my skills and speed to my advantage especially when I play on the wing and go one-on-one. I have scored many goals throughout my soccer career. I also am a team player and get assists and I love getting my teammates involved in the plays by combining with them all the way to the attacking third to score goals. Another thing I am good at is when playing forward, I am very good at putting defenders under pressure and forcing them to make a mistake or turn over the ball. I am an extremely hard worker on the field and I don't stop running until the play is over. 

I started playing club soccer at 11 years old. Last season, my club team was in the top division for the SCDSL league. We were in the Discovery league. We also competed in Super Y League and advanced to Florida to compete for the championship. My club team also won So Cal Cup late in the summer of 2019. Throughout my club soccer career, I played many positions including central attacking midfield and forward. 

For High School, I have been on the Varsity soccer team all four years. I was one of the only two freshman that played varsity soccer that year. I was also one of the only two sophomores that played varsity soccer in my sophomore year. In my freshman year and sophomore year my team and I won the CIF championship for sectionals and regionals in both years. In my sophomore year my High School team was ranked 3rd in the nation at the end of the season on MaxPreps after winning back-to-back CIF championships. Last year we did we did not qualify for CIF playoffs since my team exceeded the amount of red cards but we still finished off the regular season with nine wins and one loss. I played forward and started every game and I was one of the top scorers on my team.
