There are a LOT of great players missing that should be on the list below of Top 2026's. Add a comment of any players (or yourself) who are deserving as we plan to add about 10 more players before June 15, 2024; at that point, the list will be "locked".

If you are a 2025 or younger the norm is to receive no response when emailing college coaches, get a generic ID camp email, or a request to fill out a questionnaire but they are getting your emails. Don't get discouraged and keep sending them!

We just saw a women's D1 roster with 40 Players and 27 Freshmen and Sophomores on it. 14 players played in the game today 🤮Do your research and programs like this are a big red flag!!
Smart to bring attention to this and VERY impressive! 2025's do your research as at some P5 schools 50-75% of last year's Freshman class are no longer on the roster.

Fun fact and one that we are very proud of about our

program. The NCAA transfer portal started in 2018 & the number below is how many undergraduates in our program that have entered the portal. Family and culture aren’t buzz words. Swoop!

We have followed the Twitter activity of 367 players that made our Top in 24,25,26 Class for the past 4 months & have not seen one inappropriate tweet out of the thousands they have posted. Smart players understand the impact social can have on their "Brand"

We are three fathers who jointly run this account (some days better than others) so love seeing all the soccer/dad posts today. So many great sports parents out there!!
We have had an inconsistent process for following players back due to 3 different people running this account which we realize isn't fair. For the next 7 days any player who likes one of our tweets we will follow back!
The last day of an
#ECNL
showcase often has some tired legs as players are playing for the 3rd consecutive day (which is too much). Coaches understand this but if you can dig deep it is a great opportunity to shine.

Beyond excited to announce my verbal commitment to play soccer and further my education at Stanford University!!! Big thank you to my family, coaches, teammates, and teachers who have all guided and encouraged me along the way… just getting started!🌲❤️
