Geoffrey Davis '25 Recruiting Profile

Highly driven, competitive soccer player who is excellent at 1 on 1 defending.  I effectively utilize my speed and athleticism to be 1st to the ball, win challenges, gain and maintain possession and create offensive opportunities for teammates. Through relentless effort and consistent play, I am able to disrupt offenses and frustrate offensive players. I am both a team player and effective leader of the defensive line. I believe in playing fierce, aggressive defense while maintaining my composure and respecting both my teammates and opponents. I am excited at the potential of helping a D1 or D2 team continue their divisional/conference success or assist the building process of an up and coming team.

I helped my team qualify for the MLS NEXT FLEX playoff Tournament last May (2022) in Boyd's Maryland. Participated in MLS Next Showcases in California (December 2021) and Texas (June 2022). I defended against top MLS affiliated youth academy prospects, players invited to USYNT camps and other elite academy level players through these showcases.

My 2021-2022 Season Coach, Mr. Rick Derella, President/Technical Director of Oakwood noted the following regarding my defensive skills: "Strong 1v1 defender",  "Strong stamina and mentality to win the ball" and "Very fast and can close down players".

In addition, my education and educational opportunities are very important to me. I have successfully balanced the demands of an elite level MLS NEXT Academy and a rigorous academic program.  For instance, I have maintained Honor Roll each marking term. Therefore, I am looking for an athletic program that values academics strongly. I plan to major in actuarial science and/or Finance. I give my best every day in the classroom as well as the soccer field.
