Taylor Russo '20 Recruiting Profile

Personal Statement
I just love soccer, I always have. You probably have heard this a lot from people but it's true. I've played at the elementary level, the middle school level, the High School level and I would now like to compete at the collegiate level. I have been playing soccer since I was in 2nd grade, that's 10 years of playing this sport so you know I've got to love it! :)
I was unanimously voted team Captain as a Jr. at my High School even though there were a few Sr's on the team. What makes me a good candidate for any team is that I am a team player, easy to get along with. You will usually find me first in line to help out and volunteer for something. In my 10 (going on 11) years of playing, I have experienced playing every position. I have a strong kick so I was one of the place kickers for my High School team. I'm not one of these players who will only play one position. I will go wherever you need me.
I have the utmost character. I am on the National Honor Society. I just got awarded the All Conference Athletic-Academic award for never having anything less than a 3.5 GPA throughout my High School career while also being in a High School sport (such as soccer.) I am a hard worker. I also enjoy doing volunteer work at a few places in my community. I think it's important to help out and give back to your community.
I've attached my grades so you can see them. Again, I'd really love to play at the collegiate level so feel free to text or email me. (And, if it's not too much to ask, I would like a letter of intent so I know you are serious about me). Thanks so much! :)
Sincerely, Taylor
