Taylor Merritt '21 Recruiting Profile

Since I was a kid I've always envisioned myself playing on a collegiate level.  I play forward but I can easily adapt to any position on the field.  I am able to read the field and I am creative when it comes to making runs and looking for through balls. I envision my college years to be a personal grown period. My goal is to explore a science major that will position me well for medical school to one day become a surgeon. On the field, I plan to be a dynamic player and positive influence on the team.  As I grow both physically and mentally throughout my college soccer career, I will strive to be an asset to the striker position. Most importantly I will conduct myself with honor and respect on and off the field, knowing the way I carry myself reflects my team,  my coaches, and the school I attend. Playing the game has always satisfied me and I can't imagine not playing after I graduate because soccer has been a crucial and essential aspect of my life for 13 years.
