Burke Sheppard '23 Recruiting Profile

I am a senior in the class of 23’ at Olathe East High School in the Kansas City area. My goal is to be a part of a team where I can contribute and become the best student athlete possible. 

I started soccer at age 4 and played club soccer for 6 years with French Soccer Académie, which emphasizes a disciplined, possession style of play based on the French developmental model. I primarily play center midfield but also play CAM and CDM, as well as right wing. I currently play for KC Legends 2005 Academy. I am also the head coach for a 2015/2016 indoor soccer team.

I won the Kansas State Cup in 2019. I’ve traveled twice to Guadeloupe, an island in the Caribbean, to train with the Pôle Espoir academy run by the French Football Federation. I have also traveled to France to play teams in Paris, Rennes and other cities, including against the Stade Rennais FC (Ligue 1) academy. I consider myself to be a very technical player with a superb touch. I can effectively play balls through, break lines and transition quickly. I have done well in school with a 3.7 GPA and would like to major in a subject that will prepare me for Law school.
