Dean Eissa '26 Recruiting Profile

Soccer isn't just a sport, it's a way of life. Growing up, soccer has always been the thing that defined me. It's shaped me into the man I am today and taught me all the lessons I know. Weather its to never give up, or always keep pushing or just to always be grateful for everything. The thought of playing at the colligate level excites me, not just to continue my love for the game, but to also discover new dimensions of life. 

My commitment to academic excellence parallels my dedication to soccer. I work hard to maintain a 4.0 GPA while competing at a top competitive level for my club team, Asphalt Green SC. Throughout High School, Ive taken on the challenge of honors and AP classes and have once again proven that any challenge can be achieved, despite all the responsibilities one may carry. I strike for excellence in both academic and leadership roles, wether it's in the classroom or on the field. 

My soccer journey is marked by countless overcoming and achievements and I look forward to the many more achievements I'am yet to overcome going forward. Leading my club team as captain, we have always proven to be more than capable of going above and beyond no matter the circumstances. I've always made sure to set the standards high for my teammates and lead my team to meeting those standards. High school has been no different, securing a varsity spot since freshmen year and being fortunate to be named captain junior year. 

I am a versatile player who contributes in creating crucial attacking opportunities for myself and teammates. One of my strengths as a player is that I'am strong-willed which contributes to my relentless work ethic that drives me on and off the field to be the best version of myself. 

Looking ahead, I'am eager to continue my athletic and academic journey at the next level. I look forward to meeting new coaches and players all over the world and continuing to build my knowledge. With the combination of my athletic talent and academic drive, I'am confident in my ability to thrive at the collegiate level and mark a long lasting impact wherever I end up.
