Andrew Bilbie '23 Recruiting Profile

I love this game. I’ve been playing since I could walk and have always dedicated my life towards it. Playing soccer is something that I always look forward to and makes me happy no matter what. I’ve sacrificed countless things to play soccer at the highest level, but I can’t say I’d have it any other way.  The US Soccer Development Academy and MLS Next programs have provided the environments to prepare me to play at the Division I college level and eventually (hopefully) the professional level. This is something that I’ve always dreamt of doing and am willing to put in all of the work necessary to reach it. I’m looking for a place where I can be challenged and developed, while being able to use my talent to contribute to a winning team and experience the shared spirit and journey of playing in an NCAA tournament. 

On the field, my strengths are my passing and shooting technique, work rate, awareness, dribbling ability, and that I’m two footed. I’ve also developed leadership qualities after being captain of my Oakwood team for the past four years that I can carry into the college game to help out my team.

I’m just as dedicated in the classroom as I am on the field. I’ve continued to carry a challenging level of academic courses over my high school career, including AP level work. My interests lie in the Business field, so I’m excited to attend a school that will offer a wide variety of courses and experiences that can set me up for success after college.   

I’m confident that I would be a valuable addition to any Division I soccer program and would do my best to contribute to the progress and success of the team.
