Rayna Soto '24 Recruiting Profile

I attend Randolph High School and will graduate in 2024.  I have been playing soccer ever since I was 8 years old and playing soccer is an important part of who I am.  I have always been a very aggressive, fearless, and fast player with great work ethics.  I am a versatile player that can play center back, wing back, and center midfield, however, I can transition positions when the team requires it.  On the field, I am very focused and can anticipate the ball movement.  I've been acknowledged for my unbelievable speed, excellent technical ability, work ethic to get forward and support attacks, as well as recovering and defending with patience and control.  I excel at bodying others off the ball, my calmness and composure on the ball allows me to know when to go in for the tackle, I am able to give more passes to the game bringing others into the game by switching the play and playing forward. 

I communicate well on the field and display leadership skills and was selected as captain of the Cedar Stars Academy 06 Black team and head captain of the Randolph High School Varsity team.  I love to encourage my teammates during games and feel it is important to develop a relationship on and off the field and represent my team in a positive manner.

I plan to pursue a career in the medical/ pharmaceutical profession. During my high school years playing soccer, I’ve developed great time management skills and am able to balance my athletic and academic requirements, while obtaining a weighted 4.5 GPA/4.0 non-weighed GPA.  My time management skills will benefit as I move forward to college and major in an exciting field while pursuing my passion to play soccer at the highest level.
