2024 Spotlight
2024 HighlightsPersonal Statement
My name is Diego Santiago from the class of 2026 and I play as a fullback, wingback, and centerback. Outside the field, I'm a great leader and like to pull the team closer together in order to maximize team chemistry. I'm also a very determined person. Most importantly, inside the field I'm an outspoken player and like to bring team morale up. I'm also quick on my feet, and I have great defensive IQ plus a good tactical understanding of the game. In addition, I'm good with the ball on my feet, and I have good tackling abilities along with an ample vision of the game. My traits that most stand out would be my IQ, with/without the ball, and my speed/agility.
I want a college that let's me pursue my passion for the sport while also helping me reach academic greatness. Without a doubt, I'm ready to commit to this life and live it to its fullest extent.
