Alyssa Abbott '20 Recruiting Profile

    I am a 5’6 midfielder from Prairieville, Louisiana. I have been playing soccer since the age of 5 and currently play for Dutchtown High school as well as 02 Louisiana Fire. Since I first stepped on the field I have aspired to play at the collegiate level. Soccer has always been a major part of my life, and I would love to continue to grow as a player and person for as long as possible. I am very supportive to my fellow teammates and lead by example. I strive to be the best that I can be by constantly pushing myself and others to reach their goals. My top attribute is my ability to analyze the game and make the right decisions. I have very good vision and ball control.

    I currently play in New Orleans at the highest level Louisiana offers. Leaving at 5:00 pm and returning home at 9:45 requires dedication as well as good time management. Through my hard work, I have earned myself a spot on the Louisiana 2014-15 and 2015-16 ODP team. Along with that, I have earned the Texas A&M MVP award. I have participated in the Nike PDP invited tryout. In addition, I have earned freshman 1^st team all state, 1st Team All Metro,  and all district honors three years in a row for my high school.

    As far as academics go, I currently maintain a high GPA of 4.1 with a 29 on the ACT. Inspired by my parents and other family members, I desire to go into healthcare. Finding a school with a great atmosphere where I can find balance between my classes and the soccer field is a prime concern.
