Gary Folkes '27 Recruiting Profile

I’m a highly motivated scholar and athlete looking to apply these strengths in my university endeavors. I’m currently a member of the National Junior Honor Society at my school with a top-ranking GPA.  I’m the Team Captain for my school soccer team, playing right wing and forward.  My soccer ability is strengthened with being left foot dominant.  I have been playing soccer since I was 3 years old and I played on the top level competitive soccer team for the Houston Dynamo/Dash Youth Soccer Club (now HTX Soccer Club). This past school year I was also part of the District Champion football team (B Team) as a starting middle linebacker.  As well as, the track team, running the 100m dash, 400m dash, and the 4x400m relay.  My goal is to transfer my academic and athletic abilities not only in high school, but also to attend a well-rounded university to foster and grow in both fields.
