Richard (Ricky) Nichols '21 Recruiting Profile

Academics and soccer have been main components in my entire life. My goals for college is to study Environmental Science or Environmental Engineering. I believe that staying on top of academics is the first and most important thing about being a student athlete. Soccer is always a priority and I am willing to work at the top level to get where I want to go. I have played every position on the field but the most important positions that I have played were goalkeeper and center back. Staying in those positions for a long time gives you a sense of the field and you understand how open the game can be. I think that the learning experiences I had with all my coaches and positions, I am and will always be a better player because of it.
