Connor Torsleff '25 Recruiting Profile

After competing my freshman year at the highest levels of youth soccer in the MLS Next league and ODP, I knew I wanted a more immersive experience for the rest of my high school career. I enrolled in the International Development Academy in Valencia, Spain in the Spring of 2023. In Spain, I am challenged academically and on the pitch. I participate in 15 hours of high-level training per week, compete against first and second division La Liga teams, and play in tournaments like the MIC where I have competed against professional academy teams such as Atletico Madrid, Olympique de Mairselle, Athletico Mienero, Rayo Vallencano, and Shakhtar Donetsk.  I place a high value on being extremely coachable, being a great teammate, having a strong work ethic and high personal accountability; these qualities plus a high soccer IQ will help me be a big contributor to a top soccer program.
