Tyler Ellertson '23 Recruiting Profile

I'm looking to continue playing soccer in college while pursuing my education in Sports Management. I've always been a natural leader on and off the field. I've been captain for every team I've played on since the age of 11. I would love to play for school that not only has a great tradition on the field but one that is always looking to help their local community. I've worked with our booster club to help organize a feed the homeless event my junior year. My teammates and I made sandwiches for a local homeless shelter. 

As a goalkeeper I been a varsity starter since my freshman year and have worked hard at becoming the best player I can be. I've done this by attending camps, working with a private coach and helping organize pickup games with my teammates. I love the challenge of being the last line of defense and feel my leadership skills help me direct the flow of the game. I'm a vocal keeper, but in a way in which my teammates respect me and come to me for advice. My hard work was recognized by the coaches in my league as I was named to the All Conference 1st for the Southwest Conference. I'm also a player to watch in 2022 and a candidate for All State honors my senior year.

I feel I'm hitting my stride academically my junior year as I've been on the honor roll and was named to the All Conference Academic team, as well as, the All Academic Athletic team for my high school.

I love to keep to in shape by working out 5 days a week, as well as, skiing and mountain biking.  I have a part time job in customer service at a ski shop and I enjoy hanging out with my friends.
