FC Wisconsin is proud to announce the latest graduating seniors that have made commitments to play college soccer for the fall of 2024. The club collectively has 30 boys that have committed to 18 different Institutions, from NCAA Divisions I, II, III, as well as NAIA and NJCAA programs, across 12 conferences and seven states. This marks the third largest graduating class of FC Wisconsin seniors to commit to play at the collegiate level in the club's history.  

 

Not only does FC Wisconsin lead the state with the total number of college commitments overall, it also has the most players committing to play at the NCAA Division I level, with 8 players heading to play at the highest collegiate level possible. It is the 12^th year in a row that FC Wisconsin has led the state in the number of players that it continues to develop to play within the college ranks.

 

“We are so proud of each and every one of these players. To help place this number of players at the next level is phenomenal! At a time when the college recruiting process is so competitive with the transfer portal and number of international players playing within the college game, it reflects on the outstanding work that FC Wisconsin and all our staff do to help provide players a pathway to opportunities at the next level. This achievement highlights the faith and trust that college programs have in our club and the players FC Wisconsin is developing for the next level. As a club, we pride ourselves on providing a pathway for committed players within all of our programs to play at the next level. It is a credit to everyone connected with the club that these commitments are from our ECNL, ECNL Regional League, RCP, and our North programs. It shows the level of talent within the entire club,” shared Co-Director of Coaching Ben Shepherd. 

 

“To have 30 players committed to play at the next level is a great achievement by the club, the players, their families, and our staff who all put so much work into making this possible. It is a testament to FC Wisconsin's long-term player development model, that as a club we consistently produce players that are capable to play at the collegiate level. We look forward to seeing them continue to be successful within the college ranks, ” added Co-Director of Coaching Billy Solberg.
