Tairan Smith '20 Recruiting Profile

    My collegiate goal is to be able to play at the Division One level. I would be a good candidate for your team because I am very hard working, determined, and a great team player. Something that sets me apart from other possible recruits are my past experiences and schooling. In the summer of 2018, I spent a month in Europe playing against some of the top youth teams, such as Hoffenheim FC in Germany, and FC Galati in Romania. I was invited to participate in the 2017 ODP Regional Camp. I also frequently guest play for my club; competing for age groups one and two years above mine. For high school, I have been a starting varsity player since freshman year, and a captain since my sophomore year. My junior year, I received an MVP award, and was selected for first team in the conference.  At Twin Falls High School I am currently taking honors classes as well as dual credit classes, while achieving a 3.5 GPA. I also travel two hours to practice, 2-3 times a week, giving me the special ability to balance my school work and my athletic career. With my strong work ethic and experiences playing soccer at a high level, I believe that I will be a beneficiary to your team. Thank you for your time and consideration!
