Eli Rundles '27 Recruiting Profile

My name is Eli Rundles (DOB: 08/25/2009), and I am a junior at Alexander High School in Douglasville, GA, graduating in the class of 2027. I currently hold a 4.0 GPA and plan to pursue a major in Psychology while competing at the highest level of collegiate soccer. My ultimate goal is to play professionally and represent both my school and my country with the same dedication and passion that I bring to every training session and match.

On the field, I have developed as a versatile and dynamic player, excelling as a CAM, CM, LW, and RW. I currently compete with the U17 and U19 KSA MLS NEXT teams, and I have the honor of playing on the U17 Malawian National Team while also training with the Malawian Senior National Team. This exposure has allowed me to adapt quickly, compete against elite talent, and learn how to raise my level in demanding environments.

My development pathway has also included time with top clubs such as the 2009 NASA ECNL team and the 2008 (U17)/2007-2005 (U19) LSA MLS NEXT teams. These experiences have helped me sharpen my technical ability, decision-making, and game intelligence while competing against some of the best players in the country being younger than everyone else.

At the high school level, I’ve been proud to make an impact from day one. As both a freshman and sophomore, I earned 1st Team All-Region honors and was named Team MVP, recording 16 goals and 8 assists in just 18 games during my sophomore year. I bring creativity, vision, and relentless work ethic to my team, always striving to be a leader on and off the field.

I am excited to continue my journey as both a student and an athlete. I value discipline, resilience, and continuous growth, and I am determined to succeed in a competitive college program that will challenge me academically and athletically.
