Aaron Shelton '19 Recruiting Profile

My collegiate goals are to play for a college or university that has a competitive engineering program. I believe that I would make a great addition to any program as I bring leadership qualities, enthusiasm, an intensive work ethic, and a strong student of the game. Academically, I take pride in the classroom. As a sophomore I was chosen for my high school's STEM program and have also taken AP U.S. Government, AP Statistics, and AP Calculus. I currently have a 4.01 GPA, a member of the National Honor Society, and a member of Student Leadership. What sets me apart from other athletes is my drive, willingness to learn, and I train like I'm playing in a match.

Defensively, he is a solid 1v1 defender, and consistently engages in defensive battles. In possession, Aaron is clean technically, and continues to develop playing in combinations and through building phases. Aaron's primary positions are in the midfield as the 6, 8; secondary positions are in the defensive line as a 2, 3."
