Jacob Sapp '23 Recruiting Profile

My goals in college are to get a good education to pursue my goals of a degree in the computer IT field and Play high level soccer. My soccer journey has been a lot of hard work as a player I have to overcome being told that I was not good enough to be on a top team. I took those words and trained even harder; I am now playing on the Minnesota United FC Youth Academy Team (U19). When I first came to the team again, I was not a starter and I continued to listen to my coaches and work on my skills and worked my way up to be the full-time goalie. So, the one thing that I can tell anyone about me is that I am not afraid to put in the work and extra effort. My coaches say that I am a great leader on the field and very vocal on the field.

I am looking for a collage to help me keep pushing me to become the best I can be and purse my goals to the MLS Draft or US National team Training camp. Along with achieving a great education.

Off the field I am a very family-oriented person and enjoy hanging out with my friends. My family likes to build custom cars so that is a big part of my fun time. I also coach goalkeepers for a local club and with “Fear The Keeper” goalie training I really enjoy sharing my knowledge with the kids.
