Juan "Sebastian" Vallecilla '18 Recruiting Profile

Winning the Louisiana State Championship twice in a row was the highlight of my high school and club career. However, I feel I grew the most as a student-athlete after I was exposed to a new culture and country after i came to United States on 2015. That experience helped me grow as a person and lead me to strenght my character inside and outside the soccer pitch allowing me to become a better defensive midfielder capable of playing at the college level.

I was fortunate enough to be part of an amazing club soccer program and a great high school program, winning the Louisiana state championship on 2016 and 2017 with my club and being part of the all-division team for high school soccer my sophomore, junior and senior year. I learned the value of commitment, teamwork, sacrifice after being exposed to this new country. I'm looking for a program that will be a good fit for me athletically as well as academically. I believe I not only have the talent to compete for a college team, but the character, and leadership skills to make an immediate impact on your program. I know that I have what it takes to be a leader on your team!
