About Ryan

I am a 6'3" senior goalkeeper at South Effingham High School and currently play club soccer for Low Country Rush out of Bluffton, South Carolina. I started playing soccer at age six, with goalkeeping being my primary position throughout my development.

I have played goalkeeper throughout middle school and earned starting varsity experience at South Effingham High School, including starting as a freshman and junior. I previously played club soccer with Savannah United before joining Low Country Rush, where I continue to develop and compete at a high level.

As a goalkeeper, I am focused on becoming a complete and reliable player. My primary goal is to maximize my shot-stopping ability while continuing to develop my positioning, footwork, handling, aerial play, communication, decision-making, and distribution. I take pride in being coachable, competitive, and committed to improving every part of my game.

My athletic testing includes a 1.776-second 10-yard sprint, 4.79-second 5-10-5 agility test, 26'6" triple broad jump, 38.7 W/kg peak power, and 9 chin-ups.

I am seeking the right collegiate opportunity where I can continue developing as a goalkeeper, compete for playing time, contribute to a team, and pursue my post-secondary education. I am open to NCAA Division I, Division II, Division III, NAIA, and junior college opportunities and am primarily focused on finding a program with the right combination of goalkeeper development, competitive soccer, academics, coaching, and team culture.

I am ready to work, learn from experienced coaches, compete for opportunities, and continue developing into the best goalkeeper I can become.
