Ian Ferguson '23 Recruiting Profile

My whole life I have been taught that if you put the work into something that you love and want to do, you will accomplish it. Nothing is impossible if you put a little bit of blood, sweat, and tears into it. Soccer has been my drug since I was 4 my love for the game has only grown bigger. I specifically remember watching the semi-finals for the 2013 NCAA college cup and seeing Maryland vs Virginia. Just seeing the way they move the ball and the athleticism they have was incredible to me. Thats when I told myself I would be there one day playing. I have played Baseball and Football for a long time but none of them compare to the love I have for soccer. Just the flow of the game and that there is never 2 games that are the same. Every time I step out onto the field I play as hard as possible and try to be the best player out there every single game. Sports aren’t the only thing that’s in my life though. My parents have taught me that schooling and grades are what get you into big universities, not just soccer. So I take pride in my schoolwork and work hard not to just obtain the grade I want, but to learn the material given to me and really try to understand it. I am willing to do anything it takes to play soccer in college and go pro. Soccer is my passion and I am fully committed into playing in college.
