Aubrey Hopton

I’m a senior at Acadiana Renaissance Charter Academy High School in Youngsville, Louisiana. Soccer has been a part of my life for as long as I can remember I started playing when I was just four years old, and ever since then, it’s been more than just a sport to me. It’s something I truly love. It’s what drives me, challenges me, and continues to shape who I am. Over the past four years, I’ve been part of my school’s varsity soccer team, and I’ve been lucky to help lead us through some big moments. We made the playoffs for the first time in school history, won our first-ever playoff game, and this past season, we made the quarterfinals for the first time ever. I’ve been honored to be named First Team All-District all three years of high school, along with being selected to the All-State Freshman Team and earning Second Team All-State in 2025. Outside of school, I play club soccer with LA Krewe Rush in Lafayette. Playing at the club level has pushed me even more and given me great experiences. With Krewe Rush, we won the Gulf States Premier League Regional Championship, which earned us a spot at the US Club National Championships in Colorado in 2023. In 2025 we won both the GSPL Final Four and the Louisiana state title. Soccer has taught me so much how to lead, how to keep going when things get tough, and how to work hard every day to get better. It’s taught me the importance of being a good teammate and staying focused on long-term goals. When I’m not playing soccer, I stay active by running cross country and track, which has helped me build my endurance and stay competitive year round. I also take my academics seriously I have a 3.5 GPA and have been on the honor roll every year of high school. Looking ahead, my goal is to continue playing soccer at the collegiate level while earning my degree. I want to be part of a program where I can compete, grow, and contribute both on the field and in the classroom. Soccer has been a huge part of my life, and I’m excited for what’s next.
