2025

My journey with 7 Elite Academy started at the very beginning. I’ve played for 7 Elite Academy my whole career, basically. I was a founding player of their college development team, Saba, and I got the honor of being the captain for the time I was there. 

2. Without 7 Elite Academy’s outstanding coaches and program, I would never have become the player I am today. It has grown my game in more ways than I can imagine. As a person off the field I have also grown to become a leader and step up to hard challenges that you face in life. They’ve prepared me to be successful on and off the pitch. 

3. Since I first left 7 Elite back in 2022 to go pursue a college soccer career, I have played in North Carolina and won the USCAA National Championship with Johnson & Wales University. After my first year there I decided that I wanted to go play in England, so I signed with Steven Gerard Academy in Liverpool, England. I played there for a season and came back to Utah to coach and save up some money to go back to England which is where I am playing now for the semi professional AFC Liverpool U21 team. I’ve just finished my first season with them, getting to a final and finishing top 5 in our league. I plan to play there next season and possibly find a USL 2 team to play for in the summer.

4. Take the chance to play for an incredible academy. Joining new teams can be a scary decision, especially when you have outside influences telling you to go other places. But I promise you, 7 Elite Academy is the only place you’ll be able to go where you will become a better person and player from it. It’ll bring you opportunities that no one else can provide. Take you around the country and around the world allowing you to showcase your talent in front of people you’d never get to meet otherwise. Don’t miss your chance to better yourself. Join the 7 Elite Academy squad.
