Abhiram Gardas '26 Recruiting Profile

I have been playing soccer since I was 5. Growing up surrounded by the game, I've developed a deep passion for it that drives me every day. As a sophomore in high school, I'm all about setting goals and chasing them down with passion, mimicking my mindset on the field.

My journey in soccer has been shaped by my experiences both on and off the field. Over my time in the game I've learned a lot. I have great vision on the field and can read the game well. I am primarily a LW/FW with a dominant right foot. Whether I'm creating opportunities for my team or defending, I bring versatility and skill to every match.

Off the field, I'm a dedicated student, holding a rank in the top 5% of my class with a 4.0 unweighted GPA and a 5.19 weighted GPA on a 6.0 scale. Balancing academics I also hold a part-time job as a soccer referee to be around the game more and help younger kids grow as players to the best of their ability. Additionally I enjoy volunteering in my community which keeps me grounded and focused.

Looking ahead, I have big dreams of studying Engineering in college. Being the first in my family to play a collegiate sport would be a huge milestone, and I'm ready to seize every opportunity that comes my way. With hard work, determination, and a love for the game, I'm ready to make an impact both on the field and in school.
