Ivan Twinawe '24 Recruiting Profile

I first started playing soccer when I was 6 years old. My father was a pro player in Africa and played for the Tanzanian National Team. And when he came to America he was playing D1 soccer and had a chance to go pro until he suffered a knee injury which ended his career. Since then, my goal is to make him proud and make it where he couldn’t because of his injury. He has helped shape me into the player I am today. And I want to make it because I love the game and I want to make my family proud. I want to use my ability to play sports for good and to provide for my family and friends. I want to continue growing as a person and as a player and find a good college that has more then just a good soccer team and good academics. But to also be apart of a family while I’m there.

Off the field I am very outgoing and that has transferred to on the field where I have been captain for my club team for 4 years now and counting. And also became captain for my high school team. I like to make sure my teammates are in shape and know what’s going on. To make sure they are always alert and ready to go at all times. To help them become more successful as well as our team in a whole.
