Jake Ashford '19 Recruiting Profile

I look forward to any opportunity to play the game.  My club coaches have always utilized me at CB, and on occasion move me to CAM or ST if it’s late in the game and we need a goal.  My high school coach noticed my offensive skills after my freshman year and let me express myself in the attacking third, which is a nice change from club.  This past season (my first playing exclusively offense) I scored 19 goals & had 11 assists.  I was named OPY and had the privilege of being man marked most games which taught me different ways to handle pressure.  Playing defense and offense these past two years has increased my intelligence of the game & being able to think correctly on both sides of the ball.  I think I'm most dominant at CB, but I will play anywhere I'm needed on the pitch.  Playing soccer is the most enjoyable activity in my life and I absolutely want to continue in college.
