Michael Brizzard '25 Recruiting Profile

For almost all my life, starting at the age of 4 I have had a passion for soccer. I was raised in Gonzales Louisiana, by my Mom who is from Canada, with her family being from the Netherlands and my Dad who was born and raised in South Louisiana. They have always been there to support and encourage me, while also teaching me the importance of commitment, teamwork and dedication when pursing my future career in this sport. I am looking to being on a team surrounded by people who are not only willing to work hard, but also who know when to be serious and when to have fun. While on the field I play with a high soccer IQ along with enhanced technical ability. I am a strong player on and off the ball, willing to put my body in for a tackle and always utilizing communication with my fellow teammates. I have always enjoyed playing the six so I can see the whole field and control the speed of play, but I have also been successful and enjoyed other positions and I am committed to putting all of my effort and ability into any position I may be in. From the beginning of my soccer career to now, I have played for BRSC black, ODP, TDP elite (competing in the Frontier Division of MLS Next) and I have been playing full games with my high school varsity team the last two years making it to the finals both years.
