Kensie Jackson-Young '21 Recruiting Profile

I have been playing soccer since I was 3 years old and it has changed my life. Playing soccer has taught me how to be a hard worker, a strong leader, a loyal teammate and how to overcome challenges both mentally and physically. I love everything about this sport, and playing collegiate is the next step I want to take in continuing my soccer career, as well as my education.

I am an aggressive player who isn't afraid to make challenges or tackles. I have good field vision and ideas of where and when to play the ball. I am very positive and encouraging to my teammates and I am a dedicated and loyal player, who loves my team.  I know how to use my body to shield away players and protect the ball well. I always try my best to be successful and do the best of my ability in every game and practice. 

As well as being a dedicated athlete, I am also an extremely dedicated student who studies hard and strives to maintain a high GPA. I have high morals and believe that kindness is the most important thing. I am kind to my fellow students and peers, as well as other individuals in my community. I love volunteering and volunteer often at a local catholic community resource center that provides residency to the homeless. 

I am looking for any opportunity to play college soccer and advance my education at the highest attainable level. I am so excited to continue my soccer journey.
